I've been running a Jetta 9400 for almost three years now.  Best notebook I've 
ever had by a mile, out of the four I've owned.  It also is fully compatible 
with SuSE Linux (started with v8.3, and has been upgraded numerous times 
since -- currently at SLED 10).  My previous unit was a Dell Latitude -- 
nothing but trouble.  The mobo ended up being replaced by Dell no less than 
three times over the two years I had it (fortunately, I had purchased the 
extended on-site warranty).  The Jetta OTOH has been bullet-proof.

The Jettas are not a well-known brand, and are sold mainly through the smaller 
'Mom & Pop' type outlets.  For info, see:

May I suggest something vastly superior to both?
