    Toshiba has a website where it documents the compatibility of their
    computer with linux. They document also what hardware are present on the
    system which enable you to investigate further.

    Howhever, Toshiba tends to be more expensive that the others and don't
    expect to have a laptop from theirs without WindowsXP preinstalled. So I
    don't say it is a perfect choice, but I think that they have taken a
    nice initiative.
