[WBEL-users] laptop recommendation

[Timothy Chen Allen]

I've got it running on my Dell Inspiron 7000 just fine.  It's actually
running Oracle 9i  Server Enterprise Edition (it gets sloooow when the
server is up, though).

The one thing I had to do extra on this box was to use rpm to install the 

/Redhat/RPMS/kernel-unsupported-2.4.21-15.EL.i686.rpm

to get my PCMCIA 3Com 3C574-TX Fast EtherLink 16-Bit PC Card to work
and connect to the network.

All this said, if you have the bucks, go buy a nice new one, the Dell
Inspiron 7000 gets a little bogged down at times, has bad sound,
doesn't support a lot of advanced 3D graphics, etc.  In other words,
it will work if it is your only option or someone is giving you one
for free.
