RedhatEL although a great OS for servers due to it's 5 year non changing API, kinda sucks for a desktop. You'll find that ubuntu has beeter HW support and drivers that will be more likely to work without incident on that laptop.<br><br><div> </div>-- David J.

<br>Good
afternoon
everyone!<br><br>Has
anyone
had
any
luck
installing
and
running
CentOS
5.1
on
a
Dell
Vostro<br>1500
laptop?
I
recently
(about
4
mos
ago)
purchased
one
of
these
babies<br>and
just
the
other
day
purchased
the
bluetooth
addon
and
am
considering<br>moving
from
Windows
Vista
Business
to
CentOS
5.1
(or
even
RHEL
5.1
which
I<br>also
own
a
license
to)
and
was
wondering
if
anyone
has/had
any
success<br>running
either
of
these
on
this
particular
model
laptop.<br><br>-- <br>Robert
