I work for a county water system. We are looking at purchasing some Panasonic Toughbook laptops to run a gis application that runs under either Redhat or Fedora. I need to know if anybody has had any experience with running fedora on either a Panasonic Toughbook T2 or Toughbook 18 laptop. Also, the Toughbook 18 has a touch screen. Would this be useable under fedora? The specs on the 18 are as follows: Pentium M 713 1.1 GHz ULV RAM 256 MB HD 40 GB Fast EN 802.11b 802.11g Centrino Win XP Tablet PC 10.4" TFT The specs on the T2 are as follows: Pentium M 1.1 GHz RAM 256 MB HD 40 GB Fast EN 802.11b Centrino Win XP Pro 12.1" TFT I heard something about Intel supporting Centrino on Linux. Has this come about yet? Also ram on both machines is upgradeable to 512M if need be. Would 256MB be enough to run fedora core 2 with KDE?
