[QUOTE="shmu26, post: 989594, member: 37647"] If you can find a model that comes with linux preinstalled, you are guaranteed to have fully compatible hardware. Nevertheless, most people just buy what they want and hope for the best. Very new hardware that just came on the market might not work well with some distros. If the BIOS is set up to support RAID, like my wife's ASUS laptop is, you will need to disable that in the BIOS before you can install linux. Keep in mind that the amount of RAM you have determines how many VMs you can run simultanously. The RAM requirement of each VM depends a lot on what operating system you install in it, and what programs you run in it. [/QUOTE]
