Last time I was at Materials Processing in Eagan they had a big box of<br>

I am considering buying a new laptop with only Linux pre-installed on<br>
it. I am planning on going with Ubunto.<br>
<br>
Wondering peoples thoughts on various laptop brands?<br>
<br>
<br>
Ones in consideration now are<br>
<br>
1)<br>
Inspiron 1525N<br>
Intel? Core? 2 Duo T5450 (1.66GHz/667Mhz FSB/2MB cache), Ubuntu Linux<br>
version 7.10<br>
<br>
2) System 76 machine<br>
<br>
<br>
Any thoughts on these or other brands for the positives and negatives.<br>
<br>
<br>
All input appreciated.<br>

<br>
I used the client I had access to at the time, there is no way to shut off<br>
html on it. Asked nicely or not won't really change the fact that the client<br>
I had at the time doesn't offer that feature.<br>
