Having Mandrake 9.1 on a dual boot machine, I now intend buying a Linux Only
laptop ,preferably with an AMD 64 processor for use with Mandrake 10

Would appreciate receiving any advice on possible incompatibilty problems
with certain hardware components, like graphics cards ,soundcards and above
all any internal V92 modem ( sadly I won't be having Broadband -ADSL before
Sep 2005)

If internal modems are a 'pain' to configure I could hook-up an external V90
modem (to comms port)

Your advice (especially on 'no go' components) will be much appreciated
