The Satellite line of Toshiba laptops are pretty much crap.  I've yet to 
find a Satellite user that likes their laptop.  Even when running Windows 
XP on it.  Getting non-Windows OSes running on them tends to be a 
frustrating endeavor.

The Satellite Pro line is just slightly better, but not much.

I've heard great things about the Tecra line, although I've never used on 
personally.
