I will hazard a guess that the wireless may not work out of the box in CentOS, but everything else *should* be fine. Plus, with a screen that gets to 1900x1200 I no longer require a second monitor. The one I have has: Core2Duo T9900 @ 3.06GHz 6GB PC3-6500 DDR3 320GB 7200 RPM drive Fedora 12 is nice because it supports almost everything out of the box, sounds works 100%, network 100%... etc. The only thing that doesn't work is the fingerprint reader because fprintd doesn't have support for the device (I had the same problem on my Toshiba Tecra A10). Also, as far as I have read, Fedora 11/12 will be the base for the upcoming RHEL 6 and therefore CentOS 6.x so theoretically if it works in F12, you will be alright for the next CentOS release.
