I run RH8 on a Dell Inspiron 4000.    

My advice is go find the model of Dell notebook you like.  Go to the HCL
and check out the various parts.  In general I like my Inspiron a lot. 
I just need more ram for the thing.  

i8kutils  -- these allow you to use the volume up and down and stuff.  

man i8kbuttons once you get RH installed.  

Also, since it sounds like this will be a workstation for you I would
suggest getting apt and synaptic for RH8 from freshrpms.net.  Gives you
a rich choice of apps to install on your box.  

I have more desktop and laptop hints for you once you make your choice
hit me up on my email directly BEFORE you install.
