Finding a Linux-powered laptop

| I’ve always had good luck mating ThinkPads with Ubuntu. But if you have
| another laptop and want to use another distro, then you can find out more at
| Linux on Laptops or TuxMobil. And you can check to see whether your hardware
| is supported by Linux at the Hardware Compatibility List and the
| Compatibility Database.
