Re: [ossig] Linux notebook

["Chan YH" <cyhoong@pc.jaring.my>]

I'm surprised.  I had RH7.x on Dell / IBM notebook before - no issue. My
ex-colleage is using a dual boot Sony Vaio too. Currently, I am using
Fujitsu Lifebook with a dual boot XP/RH8.0 without any problem.  I had some
bad experience recently with wireless recently.  Choose a wireless set that
COMEs with Linux driver.
