Re: [expert] Dumb Question: Mandrake's notebook installation

[Bob Brickey]

The speed performance, disk size, and other advantages of the Dell Inspiron 
5100 are worth the price difference.  Those advantages would be worth more 
than the US$250 price difference to me, but I use my laptop a lot.

Hi Experts.
Well, sorry if i make you loose time, but here is my question.
I've been working with linux 2 years until now, and i have the
oportunity to boy a notebook. The thing is that i don't know if i
could install linux in it.
Well, i don't know if i buy a:
IBM (modified)
-Pentium III 650 MHz
-128 Mb Ram
-12 Gb HDD
- CD-DVD
- USB, Serial, parallel? and 2 Pcmcia ports.
or a Dell Inspiron 5100
-Pentium IV 2.4 GHz
-128Mb Ram
-20 Gb HDD
-16 Mb Radeon Video Card
-The same ports i think.
OBVIUSLY there is a US$250 difference in the price.

I know that many of you work with notebooks, and i would apretiate if
you could tell me in wich one Mandrake should work the best
(compatibility of the components and all of that)
Well, i don't want to make you loose more time. Thanks For the help
