Anyone have a recommendation on a current model laptop that works fairly well with rhel5 64bit and a xen kernel? I know ATI and Intel video both work fairly decently out of the box, not sure about nvidia. I looked at RedHat's HCL, and there were very few laptops, mainly Dell Precision e6300 and IBM [TX]61.
_I_ don't know that Intel video works at all well on Tikanga (or Linux generally), unless it's been around a few years. Note that my experience is with desktops, not laptops. Google for my efforts with an HP DC7700. It's okay now, but was not.
I had always heard good things about the IBM T series and linux, but one of my co-workers installed it on his T61 and had all sorts of issues. i've been playing with an HP 6910p, but keep getting IRQ conflicts with the keyboard, sd card, and wireless.
If you can try before you buy, do so. I have a Thinkpad R40 around here someplace, and there are dozens of versions of it. Mine has 1440x1050 video, Atheros wireless (some have Intel, some have none), RAM and disk also vary as does the presence of fireware.
I think there's a CentOS live CD, that should be good to test with. -- Cheers John -- spambait [email protected] [email protected] -- Advice http://webfoot.com/advice/email.top.php http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555375 You cannot reply off-list:-) _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
