Any Certified Laptops In The Future?

[tcurl at enertex.com]

I regulary run a variety of Linux distro on laptops.  Some work fine  
right out of the box.  Right now I'm running Fedora 8 on an IBM T43  
and CentOS 5.0 on a Fujitsu P7120D.  The "D" was a bit of a problem as  
it designates Atheros as the wireless chip set, requiring madwifi to  
be installed.  Other than that no problems.  Both are running VMware  
server and Crossover Office.
