If you want wireless to work it probably makes sense to get a laptop with Intel WiFi like Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG or 2915ABG or 3945ABG. Also keep an eye on the videochip/GPU that the laptop is equipped with. Compiz or Beryl only work well with nVidia GPUs, older ATI GPUs (I think up to and including the R400 family) and (I think) Intel GPUs. If you plan on using VMware you may want to consider getting at least 1GB memory. If you want to play games consider an nVidia GPU since their OpenGL performance seems better than ATI's but you will need to use their proprietary drivers. For wireless to work well you may want to wait for Fedora 7 which should be available in about two months. Sites with more info: http://www.linux-laptop.net/ http://tuxmobil.org/ Regards, Patrick
