Re: Laptop Recommendations?

[Ken Keefe <kjkeefe@siu.edu>]

I am using a Compaq Presario 1500T which is the same as an Evo I think.
Compaq's numbering scheme is very confusing. I'm not sure what distro
you fancy but everything works perfectly in MDK 9.2 with little to no
tinkering required. I had trouble with getting the AGP to work in 9.0,
but it fixed it when I updated to 9.2.

Hope that helps.
