Greetings from India to all First of all, I would like to thank the community for the effort it puts in and users like us get the benefit. I started using linux about 5 years ago and today I personally use Fedora and all other six users in my SME company use Centos. And, I am proud to say that today we only a single Windows installation in our small office (for ISP troubleshooting, even though most of the use is Desktop. However, I am in a fix now. I need to buy a high end laptop, (4 GB RAM, 200 GB HDD, 17" Screen, Touchpad, Integrated Webcam and Full Multimedia, so that the system can double as a Personal Entertainment Device High End Audio/Video on long trips). I will need to run Centos & Windows virtualized with Xen or some other hypervisor, for my some of my office applications I have browsed lots of sites & mailing lists, even some linux certified sellers, but all seem to show either outdated hardware or low multimedia. I would like to know of such a Laptop which has linux drivers for all its hardware, even if scattered on the net and someone is using such a system successfully for similar applications. I could perhaps outsource the driver compilation & installation to someone remotely, as I do not know much about compiling & troubleshooting Hardware problems. My Windows usage is rare & for only a couple of programs for Equity & Commodity Trade Charting and works in hypervisor, though I have not tested it yet. I do not now want to revert to Windows for other applications like Multimedia, because I have been quite happy with Fedora Multimedia on my Desktop. Only issue is choosing the right hardware for which drivers are available & outsourcing to someone to build driver rpms for me & others for that particular laptop. After that, at least one high end model will be available for other people like myself. Hope the Fedora Gurus will give some guidance about selecting such a laptop for which full hardware support can be built in the community....I will gladly pay someone reasonable amount to do it for me and build it into the Fedora code. With best regards and my thanks. Sanjay. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
