As far as Windows compatibility, I don't think you have to really worry about it (especially if it comes pre-loaded.)

 

I would check the hardware lists for both (whatever distro of linux you plan on using.) It's not a fun job to do but I don't think it'll

be too hard. Main hardware components to choose wisely are the wireless card (most intel cards) and possibly the graphics card (nvidia is a good bet.)

Guy if you live at a country than isn't a country of the third world i suggest to you a macbook pro, but if you live at one, i suggest to you a Sony Vaio. :rolleyes:

 

If you live in Europe (supposedly not thirld world), you pay at least 35% more than in the US for a Mac. A good reason, I believe, to think twice.

Windows: you don't have to worry about compatibility.

Linux: avoid ATI cards like the plague (some distros might work, but most won't)

OS X: more complicated. Check the compatibility list, search the forum for other people's experiences, and go Intel in any case.

You're probably better off getting a Dell or Gateway laptop, preferably with an Nvidia card and Intel chipset. The overall support is so much better than the others, like ATI or VIA.
