Does anyone know what hardware is supported as far as notebook computers goes?

Which chassis are supported (Canon, NEC, IBM, Compaq)
Is PCMCIA supported, and which cards are supported (ethernet, modems)
what about trackballs, tracksticks?

What are good notebooks to get, which notebooks should I stay away from?

thanks in advance,

grant
