Hey Guys / Gals- I'm looking for a new laptop with a 17" screen and NOT an ATI chipset. The one I found that I'm rather partial to is the HP dv8000t (core duo and a Nvidia GPU). I checked out the usual places on-line and haven't really found any yeahs / nays as to whether it will run just fine. fine = working X, network and wireless and sound. Don't care about the modem, bluetooth and 3D-accel under X..although the binary Nvidia drivers should work for that, and other misc. hardware. Ideally, I'd run FreeBSD on it, but if need be Gentoo or Kubuntu would be fine. Thanks.
