One thing you might, or happily might not, have difficulties with is the wifi driver. Most drivers are available from various sources. C5 is based on kernel 2.6.18. More wifi drivers were added to kernel 2.6.27, I think. C6 will be based on kernel 2.6.34, I believe. If you have difficulties with wifi, you'll get help here. Centos is a splendid choice for laptop reliability. I have it on a netbook and on a laptop. Its so much better, for me certainly, than Windoze. With best regards, Paul. England, EU.
