Re: [SLUG] Linux in a Laptop.

[Laurie Savage <sav@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm running RH8.0 on an IBM R31, some small hiccups when I log off gnome 
and KDE doesn't like the touchpad much. Mandrake 9.0 was more stable but 
must be started with apm="broken_psr" appended to sort out cursor 
problems.

Tried the same fix with RH8 to run KDE but decided I liked Gnome 2 
sufficiently to not bother.

I find Redhat is less trouble free talking with the Novell Network/Windows 
environment I work in, but Mandarke has some nice apps like Lyx which I 
use all the time as a Maths/Physics teacher.
