Magesh,

While I have had no experience with support (actually nothing broke, although I'm a heavy user). I have a t40 and an office given t60. Both work perfectly with almost every flavour of linux (fedora 9-10, Ubuntu 8.04-8.10). 

The price range for thinkpad may not fit your budget though. The entry level R Series starts from 43k (with 160GB HDD and very little RAM). I suppose it's best you go with HP (any other members want to share their linux experience with HP?)

Thankyou guys for the feedbacks

here is some additional info:
iam buying a laptop for my development purpose, i would be doing most web developments and some system developments also (playing with kernel)

i look for a laptop which does not exceed my budget of 45k
and according to my knowledge hp services are the best so i chose it


>>Use the Fedora live cd and boot once and check if everything works
>>before buying the laptop.

well this is also nice idea
other than this, i thought of going for the nvidea graphics (thought it would be also supported by fedora)
has anybody been successful in using the nvidea gforce graphics???


>>Have you considered a Lenovo ThinkPad (the T or R series) ?

i have no idea about this lenovo.... if you can provide me some information about your experience with it. how about the services and linux compatability?
is it possible for me to get one under my budget( with 320gb hd, 3gb ram)
