Fedora Users — Re: Certified Linux Laptop

Dell does not have linux certified laptops (only desktops -- and in the current inventory it's only the Dell Precision series workstation). However ... The Dell Latitude D600 series is known to work well with Linux, although Modem support is spotty (this is true on almost every new laptop I've been able to find).

That said, if anybody knows of a laptop that comes with a Linux capable modem (without major overhaul issues or add-on PCMCIA cards), I'd be happy to hear about it, too. I'm currently in the market for 22 laptops for my company and Linux compatability would be a good thing.

Thanks,
Gary Allen Vollink

Dell. A old friend of mine has been running FC1 on his Dell for some

Interesting you should mention Dell. I was just on their site. I had heard they had laptops that they ship with RH, however I could not find any. I also poked around on a few of the sites that claim Dells work well with Linux, but could not find any RECENT model numbers listed; either positive or negative.

Got a model number or two that you are confident would work well? If not, then thanks for the info you did have.
