I gave the latest Red Hat and Slackware a spin in my notebook. Red Hat 7.1 used to work fine on my notebook, but when I tried 7.2, I got problems mounting my PCMCIA CD-ROM! :( As for Slackware, she ran gracefully but I got the shock of my life with XFree86 (it ran merely by setting a proper frame buffer console). Generally, I'm happy with Slackware and sad with Red Hat. My experiences tell me that Slackware is the soonest to work on most of the hardware I've acquired(as weird as parallel port IDE devices and PCMCIA CD-ROMS for notebooks) and maintain one of the lowest hardware requirements for Linux(I got Slackware 7 run fast in a 486DX33 with 8MB of RAM, but ofcourse only in text mode). However, I didn't like how XFree86 now is to be configured under Slackware. :(
Can anyone tell me how I could mount my PCMCIA CD-ROM work under Red Hat 7.2? A mere "mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom" used to work under Red Hat 7.1. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
