I've been very happy with Dell, just to get to you before you totally shut them out of the running. Very few problems, and what problems I have had have been fixed promptly.

I think the niche market for Linux is much bigger than people think, especially since the price of the laptop will be significantly lower without the Windows licensing.

These rebates make me drool. I might have to look into this.

Oh man, thanks for that link!

Hmm, okay. How does the 1405 compare? Any idea?

I'd also like to know this. I may pick up a dv2000 soon, but this could be important.

2 days? How so?

I had a little trouble early on, but I ended up finding a program/plugin that let me change the sensitivity of the touchpad with the Feisty GUI. I'll take a look and see if I can find that again.

My 9300's PCMCIA chipset didn't like to work well with the ZS. After a while the sound started crackling and popping, despite my best efforts to fix it. I ended up returning it.

Can you elaborate a little on the Sony/Linux issue? Is it well-known they don't work well together?
