Linux: Better than sliced bread
Linux has gotten So. Damn. Cool.
The end result of my Dell fiasco is that I threw a tantrum, demanded a refund, and marched down to my local Sony store to buy their similar product. I’m now the proud owner of a Sony Vaio SZ. Sony haven’t been known for their Linux compatible machines in the past, but these days if you pick a machine with mostly Intel components at least you know there are good Linux drivers for them.
I had some pretty stringent requirements for this machine. It needed to be able to be docked and undocked many times a day from a docking station with very little fuss, preferably being able to switch between dual monitor and single without needing to restart Xorg. I wasn’t even sure if this could really be done - it’s been a while since I used dual monitors under Linux.
