Okay #hardware #nerd types and #DataHoarders or #DigitalArchivists...

I'm using #Ubuntu #Linux on an old #iMac with #dvgrab to download the exact copies of all my #MiniDV tapes in #DV format.

But I have to say... This thing is a monster.

Can anyone recommend a laptop with #Firewire 800 that also runs Linux well?
