“Linux Laptops sells portable computers pre-loaded with the
reliable Linux operating system. The company aims to relieve
customers’ uncertainty about which portable computer models can
work well with Linux, and free them from the chore of installing
and configuring the software.”

“Laptop computer features such as power management and PC-Card
slots have only limited support in most CD-ROM Linux distributions.
Worse, many laptop computer models have built-in devices that
aren’t supported at all in Linux. As a result, to get Linux running
on a laptop is harder than on a desktop or server machine.”
