Lorraine from HP says it's a no-go. Much sadness. You can order the unit with the Agere a/b/g wireless, but it won't work under Linux from the factory. The wireless is the new Agere WaveLAN trimode chipset, pdf...

just got off the phone with some lady from India -- no one in her dept has tested a unit with Linux on it, and so she wouldn't vouch for anything. Now I'm on the phone with someone else -- will update

Ok, so I got a new dell last week, and three days into it I've already got two problems. My keyboard seems to have some kind of malfunction, some of the keys are misbehaving -- when I hit the shift key an A or a 0 is showing up....

SEMC, I don't understand your problem with high-res screens. Can't you just buy a nice IBM, 15" that runs at 1024 x 768? That'd have nice, big letters, in a reliable, high-performance machine. Here's an example of what I...
