What is a good Linux-friendly Laptop these days in the $300-940 range<br>
available locally?<br>
<br>
I want something good; for me that means no HP (IMO).<br>
<br>
Want DVD burner, a fair amount of memory and reasonable speed.<br>
<br>
I need USB ports, WiFi would be nice but I have a Linux-compatibile WiFi<br>
PCMCIA card.<br>
<br>
I'm looking to buy at MicroCenter tonight (big hurry, long story).<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Bob<br>
