Hello,
Not that many subscribers to this list would need such a thing for themselves, but I wrote a brief OSHW intro for the April edition of RS Components eTech magazine:
http://is.gd/M0gAqK (Note: it's a 5.5M PDF!)
Though, this may come in useful if someone asks what OSHW is, and some of you may recognise the photographs from OSHUG meetings.
Cheers,
Andrew
Hello friends: I need help for buying a new laptop or netbook with linux or at least with hardware that linux can recognize without problems. I don't mind if it is slow, I just want a cheap laptop that I can use for many years. I hope you can give me a way to discriminate those machines built for big corporations who only care about selling and not giving a nice product to people. Cheers,
LAMG

Not played with one but looking at the specs it's amd based, not sure if their cpu offering is mature on the mobile platform vs intel.
