[sclug] Laptop

[tim]

Hi from Egypt, possibly the furthest sclug member from the Thames valley.

Just after a bit of advice.
I am looking at buying  a new laptop. Currently have a Dell Inspiron 
8100 which I have been very happy with. Apart from the first few weeks. 
It is dual booted with XP Professional and SUSE 9.
Windows is the most used.
I want to move to Linux as much as possible and have a windows boot just 
for stuff I have to do on windows.
Can anyone recomend a make of laptop that is particularly good with 
Linux. I dont want to spend hours getting stuff like screens , modems, 
dvd drives etc working. I like playing about with Linus but would rather 
choose what.
Any help or pointers would be great.

Thanks

Tim
