well it wouldnt boot with a xen kernel and his wifi speed was horrible. I never got a chance to look at it to closely, he ended up on fedora9. > B.t.w. T61's are EOL AFAIK, so you can get them for nice prices. And > with Linux you *never* want the latest model anyway ;-). see, for RHEL i'd agree with not wanting the latest, Fedora seems to handle it fairly well though. The problem is that corporations tend to prefer readily available and supported over EOL (cause EOS isn't far behind). Which is also why RHEL versus Fedora. Plus RHEL5/Fedora6 is very different from Fedora9/10. -greg _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
