Linux support is more closely correlated with the actual components used than the brand of laptop.

i've generally been pleased with intel components (particularly wireless card and gpu) with linux, though it's worth looking up a hardware compatibility list for the OS before buying.

Everything is better than it was the last time.  I'm good.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.

I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too.  If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

Linux support isn't that great on Toshiba's, isn't that right?



i would generally have that same complaint but this is for Gumby's dad who has no intention of ever running linux.

it really doesnt matter in this situation.

ASUS is a  very reliable computer.
They make the largest percentage of the motherboards produced.

Right.

I thought it has been the case in the past that the components Toshiba uses aren't typically supported by linux.

2nd vote for ASUS.  When I was shopping around for a laptop a year or two back they had the best value going for sure and I really liked my laptop(until it was stolen out of my place a few months later).  My best friend has an ASUS and swears by it and the same with another friend.  Check out ASUS.  If I recall, they also have an 800 number you can call and bullshit with their people about what's good for you free of charge.
