pretty much no one, since it's not worth the investment in technical support. you're better off just figuring out which laptops *run* RH with minimal fuss, and install it yourself. check out www.linux-laptop.net as a start. rday p.s. my dell inspirons have performed very nicely with red hat, and ibm thinkpads are also regarded pretty highly for linux support. p.p.s. dell *used to* offer red hat pre-installed on some of their laptops, but discontinued that. no big surprise there -- most linux users don't care about pre-installed OSes, since they plan on doing their own installation anyway. so the pre-installed feature had zero value to the majority of the linux community. _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
