[wplug] Laptops

[Henry Umansky]

I'm in the market to buy a laptop and I would like some insight from you 
guys.  Here basically what I want:

-full hardware support for linux (trying asking for this a few years ago)
-dual-boot with windows (only for games and some work-related stuff)
-video card that can handle my graphic intensive games (Wolfenstein, 
Morrowind, etc)
-price range under $2000 if possible (willing to go up if I'm in a good 
mood that day)
-don't care about support or customer service, but a somewhat decent 
warranty is a must

I have a license through the University of Pittsburgh for any Windows OS, 
so a laptop that comes without an OS would be awesome, although I won't 
hold my breath. Right now IBM Thinkpad A series Value package is the front 
runner, but I haven't done much research on Dell or Compaq laptops.  Any 
information would be appreciated.
