-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 the two machines I know linux likes are the dell latutide series and the ibm thinkpad. I installed linux on a latitude cpts and linux detected all the hardware (sound, nic, modem, etc) without me even needing to do anything. the distro I used in this case was slackware 9.0. I've also heard that the thinkpad series are supposed to run linux cleanly as mandated by IBM but I may be wrong. I have a thinkpad here that I considered installing linux on but I don't have a supported nic for it.
