Linux and Laptops

[jim gotti]

Im currently looking into buying a Laptop soonish, however I'd really like to have a dual boot of win (xp or 2k) and linux (redhat fedora) on it.

Ive seen a site (linuxcertified.com, or .org) and they ship out systems with linux installed. however, they are highly priced.

Has anyone had any success in installing redhat on a Dell laptop or offer any suggestions how to go about putting together a laptop that will be able to fully run linux?

thnx

There is site, collecting experiences with different manufactors:

The distribution (RedHat, ...) shouldn't be of much interest.
General topics of interest are:
- winmodems
- acpi/apm support

look for recent experiences with 2.6.x-kernels.
