[luau] Review - Laptops for Linux

[Jeff Mings]

Warren,
	I really like the direction of your review.  Specifically, it addressed two 
of the things that most reviews omit- graphic performance under Linux, and 
the "installability" factor.  E.g., I recently purchased two HP Athlons for a 
restaurant corporation that I work for.  They didn't even have the 
often-deplorable recovery disk - just hidden recovery partitions.  Installing 
Linux in an optimized fashion as part of a dual boot system would be rather 
complicated, but finding this out before purchase isn't easy.

Keep up the great work,
-Jeff
