HP does offer elitebooks without Windows pre-installed, at least they did last year when I picked up an 850 G5 with DOS only and no Windows. In previous years they also offered SUSE Linux pre-installed. I'm typing this on an elitebook running opensuse tumbleweed. Everything worked out of the box.
I've been using Kmail, KDE's default email client, for more than a decade. It integrates very well with online mail, address book, and calendar services. I haven't found anything else that does so many things so well. And of course it's perfectly integrated with the KDE desktop.
I've been using an orinoco wireless router (the rg-1000) for about four years now that has a built-in modem to share a dial-up connection and an ethernet jack for broadband. It works with both windows and linux--I've used it to network two debian laptops at home.
"...we are seeing the cool headed philosophers in the judicial branch nudering the PATRIOT act. "

I'm writing this using a wireless connection to the Internet and to my home network. I'm by no means a techie--I'm a journalist--but I'm very happily using debian woody, and the wireless connection has been flawless.

I found this thread with an RSS reader too--KDE's Akregator.

linux-cd.com sells woody and sarge dvds. The sarge dvds are updated daily.
