Also, Dell does know Linux on the server side - they offer RHEL... and their OMSA DVD boots... into CentOS. <g> <snip> And about CentOS on laptops... I've got this circa 2009 HP Netbook. The ancient Ubuntu netbook-remix was way obsolete, so I needed to update it (I only use it while traveling, for email and browsing). I just dd'd a CentOS 6.9 i386 live iso to a flash drive (and I still HATE systemd)... and it booted. Perfectly. First time. Then I rebooted, and "install" is an option. Did that, and it worked perfectly. Happy camper, here. mark
