I'm cheap -- been running on an old P3 desktop for some time, with old

either, so she's fine with that as long as she can do word processing.
She's used to NeoOffice/Openoffice.
After some review reading, it looks like maybe HP has the least bad
stuff to say about it. Though, it's easy to see bad things about
all of them. [...]
I'm not sure on HP[1], but Lenovo offers laptops pre-installed with either
SuSE or RedHat, and thus fully supported and certified for GNU/Linux. The
Lenovo Thinkpads are actually an IBM legacy. (IBM sold part or the whole
of their PC and laptop department to Lenovo a few years ago, just as they
sold all of their hard disk technology to Hitachi Global Storage.)
*[1]* HP does support GNU/Linux and offers many systems with GNU/Linux
pre-installed. I do however not know whether this also applies to their
notebooks/laptops and/or desktop PCs.
