They are using a version of Suse on them. Suppose to work well. I think "Flawless functionality" will be difficult to achieve with FC2. The wireless connection alone will require jumping through at least a few hoops to get it to work. The Dell Latitude I am using is not bad, but it is not nearly as fast as you are looking for. However I have not had any significant problems. I would like to get the display at a slightly higher resolution but it is 4+ years old. And the largest disk drive I have found is a 20GB drive and memory maxes out at 256MB. For all that so far it has done everything I have needed. -- Scot L.
