Anything without an Nvidia video card should do what you are looking for. Not an hp because that is what I have and ubuntu never booted and installed I just got a wave across the screen. Suse installed fine on it however but orca never worked. Anything else should work just fine. Just as I said watch out for the Nvidia cards. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gaijin" <gaijin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Thursday, November 22, 2007 7:51 PM Subject: OT: Laptop recommendations? > Hello all, > > I'm looking to buy a laptop that is hopefully linux compliant, > has a serial port,an RJ45 ethernet port so I can plug it into my router, > and hopefully, it's own internal speakers and audio > system.
