What are the odds of Mandrake / Mandriva or Suse working on the bottom of
the line laptops that Office Depot, Best Buy and others are selling? Has
anyone here tried it?
Some of the model numbers I see (last week's expired sales) for between
$450 and $550 are:
Compaq Presairo Model M2105US ($549)
Compaq V2000Z ($499)
Toshiba A85-S107 ($499)
Toshiba A85-S1072 ($450)
I've tried to check the newsgroups for myself, but Google is showing zero
hits for the above model numbers in all Linux newsgroups.
One more thing. I don't really want to pay the Microsoft tax, so I'll also
ask if anyone knows where I can get a comparably equipped Linux laptop
comparably priced?
