    There's no doubt that IBM make very solid laptops but they are by no means the only Linux-friendly ones: the converse isn't necessarily true, either!

     I'm running SuSE 9.1 on an HP Pavilion zd7000 and previously had an ASUS L/C3000 - no problems with either. Worked out of the box (except for wireless on the Pavilion, which is fine now, after some fiddling). Just might be worthwhile casting your net a little wider. You might want to take a look at http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/

    Please don't think I'm trying to put you off IBM...........!
