I'm looking for items to help me learn/gain knowledge. Should be binary equivalent with RHEL, so the upstream documentation for RHEL should be fine. There may be some differences in the updating procedures, but other than that, I think it should be the same. If I'm wrong, someone more knowledgeable, hopefully will jump in and correct me. Suggest you download the Live CD and burn that and test it on your laptop to see if it is going to work OK on your HW. It can be problematic on a laptop, especially if it is very new.
