Clicking the configre/purchase button throws an error message right
now...couldn't say why.  But maybe it's worth a call? says it comes pre-
installed with choice of windoze or Suse, so I would think Fedora would
work OK.

I've heard good things about the HP Pavilion zd8000 as well [previous
post], also the Dell800m [not sure it's still current].  I have an older
Toshiba that is absolutely painless to install, I'm looking at new
models now. I'm shopping also and I've seen good things at IBM's stie as
well.

HTH,
