[NTLUG:Discuss] A Laptop

[Fred James]

I am using a Dell Latitude C800 with a Xircom RealPort Combo Card 
(10/100 Lan + 56K modem), running Red Hat 7.1 - it is a workstation, not 
a playstation, so I cannot speak to games and movies particularly, and 
of course it is Linux so sound is not always there.  But it is doing 
everything I need to do.  When installing, no matter what resolution and 
color depth I selected for display, "test" always yielded the same, and 
I found that unless I selected what "test" said to use GUI (xwindows) 
wouldn't come up.

Sorry if I am not as adventurous as you would like, but I hope this helps.
