Oh, I dunno...I flew using Chicago over the holidays
while Denver was totally snarled from the blizzard.
:-) Wow, that must have been a mess for those affected
(afflicted?) but apart from a very slight delay -- I don't
remember precisely what -- no problems for me.
Then again, I think at some other point Chicago got a
little snowed in.
And then there's JetBlue....but I digress.
(No, I don't have a laptop, Linux or otherwise. I'll admit
Dell looks tempting, though -- if they don't botch it. They
do have reasonably basic open-source laptops.)
