If you use a little older hardware, things generally work rather well. YMMV.

This makes sense, when you consider that [by default] network interfaces get loaded before pcmcia and thus network services would fail if the [pcmcia] network card is told to load at boot. > Depending on your laptop your mileage may vary.

RH7 through FC2 has worked on my Toshiba [Satellite2805-s603] so well I've never dual booted or bothered to upgrade to faster hardware. > And I do not see ever going back to a windows based laptop.
