Off topic here, but since there seem to be so many computer users...
Going to be buying a laptop computer for graduate school (MSME) and need some inputs. I have been looking at ubid.com, dell, gateway for higher powered notebooks. I have a dell desktop and love it, but ubid seems to be having some excellent deals on sony's. One thing I was thinking is to lease a laptop from dell as well. anyone done this? Anyone have a Sony viao (?)? Also, my professor suggested that I should configure to dual boot my system with either Windows XP or Linux. Anyone have experience with Linux packages? id Red Hat a good developer for the open source code of Linux? or is there another dealer that you would reccomend? or could I run it myself without buying something from a developer? I will probably be running FEA simulations and the like on Linux and Win.
Thanks for all of the responses to the varied questions
Ed
