Use FC2 redhat 9 isnt even supported anymore.
Well, there's Fedora Legacy (http://www.fedoralegacy.org/) if they can
get/keep their act together.
Have been some problems with FC2 on some laptops, for that matter FC1
and RH9/RHx.y, so it depends... Back it up and try FC2. If that
doesn't work give FC1 or RH9 a shot.
If stability is really important to you, and depending on the depth of
your pockets, there's RHEL, Red Hat Professional Workstation
(http://www.redhat.com/software/workstation/), or one of the RHEL
rebuilds/derivatives like WBEL (http://www.whiteboxlinux.org/),
cAos/CentOS (http://caosity.org/), or Tao Linux (http://taolinux.org/).
Beyond that, of course, we get into all-the-others - and I'm already
probably out-of-bounds for fedora-list, so won't get into religious
issues. ;^)
Good luck,

If you have never installed Linux on a laptop before, you need to know
that you will have "issues" that will need to be and can be worked out
with RH9, or FC1 or FC2 -- I've taken that path (RH9>FC1>FC2) and while
RH9 was in many ways comfy, I wouldn't go back. USB support is
definitely better in FC2. The biggest thing about the jump to FC2 has
been related to the 2.4 to 2.6 kernel jump -- various things are done
differently and for the most part better.
