Installing Linux on any brand-new laptop is often an exercise in frustration. Laptops tend to have the strangest hardware, and the linux world will have had about as much time to explore how to get everything working on it as you have -- after all, brand new. Some kinds of netbooks even come with linux on them, but manufacturers rarely bother getting anything but the bare rudiments of it operating, treating it like the throwaway OS they'd put on a no-OS machine.
So, research any purchase thoroughly before you make it.

brandelf
BRANDELF(1) BSD General Commands Manual BRANDELF(1)
NAME
brandelf -- mark an ELF binary for a specific ABI
SYNOPSIS
brandelf [-lv] [-f ELF_ABI_number] [-t string] file ...
DESCRIPTION
The brandelf utility marks an ELF binary to be run under a certain ABI for FreeBSD.
The options are as follows:
-f ELF_ABI_number
Forces branding with the supplied ELF ABI number. Incompatible with the -t option. These values are assigned by SCO/USL.
-l Writes the list of all known ELF types to the standard error.
-v Turns on verbose output.
-t string
Brands the given ELF binaries to be of the string ABI type. Currently supported ABIs are ``FreeBSD'', ``Linux'', and ``SVR4''.
file If -t string is given it will brand file to be of type string, otherwise it will simply display the branding of file.
EXIT STATUS
Exit status is 0 on success, and 1 if the command fails if a file does not exist, is too short, fails to brand properly, or the brand
requested is not one of the known types and the -f option is not set.
EXAMPLES
The following is an example of a typical usage of the brandelf command:
brandelf file
brandelf -t Linux file
