[QUOTE="chevyontheriver, post: 77673573, member: 381079"] Laptops can be problematic in that the parts used are seldom generic. It's worth a try though, and you may have great success. But laptops are where the hardware companies do a lot of innovative things to get around the limitations of the laptop format and the Linux developers have to then catch up. Linux works best on very standard components. So often it's best to build your own PC. I've done that twice. You get to have a PC your way AND compatible too. Not so terribly hard either. You can get a high efficiency power supply, a modest or fancy case, an array of possibilities for main board and processor and memory and storage and networking, and make the compromises you feel comfortable with rather than the compromises a PC manufacturer makes for you. AND you don't need the pre-loaded Windows stuff. Not for everybody. But do at least think about it. [/QUOTE]
