Which laptops are okay for Linux?Which laptops are okay for Linux?Posted Jun 12, 2008 14:07 UTC (Thu) by anton (subscriber, #25547)In reply to: Laptop: Ubuntu and Fedora by dwheeler Parent article: The Grumpy Editor's Guide to distributions for laptops I have an iBook G4 1GHz (which of course you can now only buy used) running Debian Etch, and everything I need works: suspend-to-RAM takes so little power that I can do that for more than 24h without mains power, unless I have forgotten to rmmod bcm43xx (the WLAN module); therefore I don't care if hibernate works. Support for external displays in clone mode works without further ado (but I needed some work on the xorg.conf file). Sound works (the speakers are pretty bad, though). Battery life is 3-3.5h (mostly idle).
