Linux and laptops...www.tuxtops.com

I am planning to buy a laptop and run linux on it. This is primarly for schoolwork (I am a comp sci major, and we program in Solaris machines). I recently found an online company that sells linux laptops - www.tuxtops.com. They sell really nice laptops with linux preinstalled. I am thinking of getting a Topaz 8400 with Debian 2.2 preinstalled on it.

Has anyone ever heard of tuxtops? Are they reliable? I need a decent laptop that will act as a programming/word processing/research/internet browsing/email/reference box. Yes, I need network capabilities as my campus has a really good network which I would like to be able to take advantage of.

thanks...

Any reason you are not exploring buying a laptop from a company like Dell, IBM and installing Linux yourself!? The latest versions of Redhat, Mandrake install to Laptops without any problem and work pretty well..they also REALIZE that they are installed on a laptop and enable laptop specific features such as battery meters, suspend capabilities and PCMCIA support..

We've had good luck with Dell's inspiron series of laptops and Linux. Mainly Redhat and Mandrake as far as Linux is concerned. Debian is good..but I prefer Redhat/Mandrake..Regards
