The macbook is ok but it just doesn't cut it per productivity so I've ordered another laptop (a 64bit laptop with 8G of memory expandable to 16G and 2 internal 320G 7200rpm drives)
I'll be loading Linux as soon as the machine arrives from Dell.
Kevin: I suggest you try the CentOS 5.2 Live CD on it, after you receive the laptop. Then, you will know if CentOS is the distro for that Laptop. CentOS is an Enterprise Distro and not well suited to the latest HW, especially on a Laptop. If CentOS doesn't work on it, the way you want it to, consider running Fedora or Ubuntu or something else on it. The Live CD's make it very easy to check out how a Distro will work on the HW you have.
Here's my questions:
- Are there any published plans for CentOS to support KDE4, or is there a
way to upgrade CentOS to KDE4 ?
If you upgrade to something that is not supported by the distro, you broke it and you fix it. <snip> GL with the new Dell Laptop! Lanny
