I am using a HP Compaq nx 6325 here.

It seems to run absolutely fine. It's a reasonably good laptop. Might
want to have a look at it.

The things that do not work are
1) The fingerprint scanner (no luck in linux as well)
2) The media card reader (works in linux, behaves like an external USB
card reader. Think should work on Solaris, but dont know how)
3) It has an ATI Radeon X200. Works well on linux , dont know whether
XGL/AIGLX will run using the radeon driver though.

If you dont need to use XGL/AIGLX this laptop gives you good bang for buck

Thanks
Manish
