(sorry about my english... very poor!)

Hi, this is my fist post on Debian subscriber lists. Anyway, this is my
first post on a subscriber list at all.
I'm not a person who write a lot in english. I wish you will understand me.

I've got the Debian 4.0 r0 "Etch" DVDs and I want to install it on a Laptop
Toshiba satellite P200
(PSPB0C-RT208C). It's possible (compatibility)? Windows Vista won't give me
some problems (I'm expecting a dual boot)?

Recently, someone told me about tatooed laptops. It is the case of
Toshiba's laptops? Do someone know?

Thank you very much!

Debian will usually run on any laptop you're likely to see, but various
components may not be supported. Trying a live CD is a good idea.

What's a 'tatooed' laptop?

I'm not sure abou that model, but debian (I'm running sid at the moment)
runs nicely on my HP Pavilion ze4400. As someone else suggested you
could fire up a live CD on there and see how it goes. Both K/Ububtu and
Knoppix are debian based and will give you a good idea about what to
expect.
