The original poster did indeed ask the right question. As you recall
it was "I'd like to find out what laptops work the best with RH 9.0 and if
anyone has any recommendations." What part of that became "Does so and so
laptop run Red Hat?"
Perhaps he only wishes to deal with Red Hat Linux, specifically
version 9. With that in mind, knowing what laptops will run okay or
perfectly with a default Red Hat 9 would provide him with the opportunity to
examine a range of laptops some of which may perfectly match his needs,
others which may fall short and a few that are beyond what his needs are.
I must also add another excellent place to look for Linux Laptops...
http://www.emperorlinux.com
They have a number of available models to choose from and they list
the manufacturer, if you want to save a few bucks and buy from the
manufacturer. If you really support Linux you, should buy a preconfigured
Linux laptop from Emperorlinux. They do a great deal of R&D to get laptops
running with Linux.
