I'd like to find out what laptops work the best with RH 9.0 and if anyone has any recommendations.

Thanks,

I run RedHat 9 on my latitude c640, with a truemobile 1150 for 802.11b wireless, and all my devices work out of the box, complete with docking station. I've also run it on a c400, and an Inspiron 8100. I know a lot of folks here that run it on a wide variety of models, all the way up to the Inspiron 8500 (I haven't tried the 8600 yet).


The most important component I would research is the wireless card. The truemobile 1150 uses a lucent chipset, and works right out of the box with the orinoco driver (just don't try to specify an alternate key index). The newer combo cards use Broadcom, and Broadcom doesn't offer Linux drivers, yet. I believe the same is true for the Intel wireless cards.
