[lug] Laptop recommendations for Linux?

[Rob Nagler]

I recently dealt with emperorlinux.com, and they were awesome.  I
ordered a Dell E6400:

It works well, including dual-headed DVI, which can be a problem with
laptops, apparently.

I know that most Linux people are "roll your own" types, but it was so
easy buying from them that I'd do it again in a heartbeat.  They gave
me great advice on what to get, too.  And, they put up with me asking
for CentOS to be installed -- even thought it is an ancient operating
system. :-)
