I am in the process of shopping for a new linux laptop. |

I'm currently running on an HP Pavilion ze1000 with an upgraded disk. |
4 |
It mostly works, but the VIA graphics chips means no compositing, no |
5 |
beryl, and anything OpenGL is slow. |

7 |
I'm looking to upgrade and while I'm aware of the vendors specializing |
8 |
in Linux laptops. I also keep seeing some comparably equipped machines |
9 |
at the local office super store for sub $1000 prices. |

|
11 |
Does anyone know of a bootable CD intended for testing laptop (or |
12 |
desktop) functionality? |
13 |
|
14 |
I'm hoping someone out there has built something on top of Knoppix or |
15 |
Gentoo's LiveCD that will examine the hardware and report what's good |
16 |
and what's bad. |

18 |
Anyone familiar with such a disc? |
