[Nottingham] Linux laptop

[Danny King]

I recommend Dell. I use a Dell Inspiron, bought a few months ago and I run
Kubuntu. I've not had any problems and with an Ubuntu installation it'll
probably "just work." I have an ATI graphcs card inside it, which does
require a binary driver (which is trivial to set up with Ubuntu) although
you can choose a different model without the more expensive graphics cards.

Cheap, reliable and fantastic!
