    I've been using a Sager 5670 for the past year and it's run flawlessly with
    Windows 2000/Redhat 9 (dual boot), Windows XP/Redhat 9 (dual boot), Fedora
    Core 1, and now Windows XP/Fedora Core 1 (dual boot). Their kinda pricey
    compared to the big boys (Dell, IBM, etc), but they make some great hardware
    combinations (AlienWare uses Sager hardware).

    Check them out at www.sagernotebooks.com and you can buy one at
    www.pctorque.com - they are great...
