Hi,
you can try Kenneth Harkers site for Linux on Laptops
inbtw: i run SuSE 8.0 and a chroot Gentoo 1.1a on my Laptop i.e a Sony Vaio F590 no issues with hardware or pcmcia for me.
I would reccomend a later distro ... so that you get all the latest and greatest

hi,
i am planning to buy a laptop to use Linux on it.which brand among the present breed offers the best support for Linux with respect to hardware compatibility. are there any up-to-date resources on the web which i can look into.
also just as an after thought i am just curious as to how the Apple Powerbook which has the BSD core and the Mac interface compare to a normal laptop running Linux. my curiosity stems from the fact that its my guess that the Mac OS X would allow me to run most of the GUI based programs available for Linux or BSD and at the same time allow me to use M$
products
for the Mac like MS Office (well... all us still use a little bit of M$ everyday)
regards NDK
