Dear Rich,

I have LM 8 on my Compaq laptop dual booting with Windows 98SE. I used System 
Commander to partition and set it up which made if go very well. All things 
were detected without a problem.

I have the same laptop running RH 7.2 w/ NO problems what-so-ever. 
Installation was a breeze and I wouls imagine Mandrake would be as easy

I'm considering getting a Sony Vaio FXA-36 laptop which will run both 
Windows and Mandrake 8.1.  Does anyone here have any experience with the 
Sony laptops, or with laptops in general?
