[nzlug] Linux Laptop?

[Andrew Bruce]

Both myself and a guy from work have Sony Vaio's that have proved to be 
very happy running Linux (although his one has an ATi card, whereas mine 
got the NVidia one). 

I know personally on mine I have all the drivers for everything that I 
use every day working.  The only things I haven't got working (or have 
even bothered to get working) are the internal Intel modem and the 
memory stick slot.  Otherwise everything else works, or I've seen a how 
to to get it working (eg the 'special' extra keys on the top, etc).

Available at Noel Leeming, SonyStyle (which may let you boot a Linux CD 
on one of their display models) and it may pay to check on 
pricespy.co.nz to see if you can get it any cheaper.

There is a Linux laptop support site somewhere, I'll see if I can dig 
the URL up for you as well.
