[nflug] CentOS 5.1 & Dell Vostro 1500 Laptop

[David J. Andruczyk]

you'll have better luck with Ubuntu most likely.    RedhatEL although a great OS for servers due to it's 5 year non changing API,  kinda sucks for a desktop.  You'll find that ubuntu has beeter HW support and drivers that will be more likely to work without incident on that laptop.

Good 
afternoon 
everyone!

Has 
anyone 
had 
any 
luck 
installing 
and 
running 
CentOS 
5.1 
on 
a 
Dell 
Vostro
1500 
laptop?  
I 
recently 
(about 
4 
mos 
ago) 
purchased 
one 
of 
these 
babies
and 
just 
the 
other 
day 
purchased 
the 
bluetooth 
addon 
and 
am 
considering
moving 
from 
Windows 
Vista 
Business 
to 
CentOS 
5.1 
(or 
even 
RHEL 
5.1 
which 
I
also 
own 
a 
license 
to) 
and 
was 
wondering 
if 
anyone 
has/had 
any 
success
running 
either 
of 
these 
on 
this 
particular 
model 
laptop.
