-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I've had two compaq laptops (Presario 1685, Armada e500); both running Debian Linux with no setup problems that I can remember (sound, video, PCMCIA, network adapter, basic power management [standby button]). I've been very happy/lucky that all the hardware in both computers has been very well supported by vendors/online communities. My $0.02.
