[TriLUG] Ready to kill the last MS box

[Chris Merrill]

In my recent experiences with laptops (Presario 1900, Thinkpad T23), I found
Mandrake was significantly better than RedHat in regards to recognizing the
hardware and installing the appropriate drivers.  I haven't tried any of the other
distributions.

I think in general, you'll have good results, since the laptop is a little older the
hardware should be well supported.
