Hi Jill,
I had a Compaq pressario laptop before my Dell Inspiron 7500. On both I was
able to load and install RedHat and Mandrake. The Compaq had no probs with
drivers but the Inspiron had a problem loading the audio driver only in
Mandrake. That being said, it did finally recognize the audio device and it
worked only sometimes it would hang on boot up at the device config part of the
boot when it came to the audio device. I had to manually reboot, fsck then it
would load properly.
Hope this helps,
Phil
