As RedHat is ending meaningful support for all non-Enterprise
versions effective 2003.12.31, I'm casting about for good
alternatives to the RH 7.2 I've been using and keeping up to
date for quite some time.

One of RH's strengths is its installer and support for so many
varieties of hardware. The only problem I've ever had is the
need to do a couple tweaks to get XF86Config-4 right for any of
the machines I use.

Since I have a dead-slow network connection (but it's free!),
downloading is not a realistic option. Before I pop $40 for the
Slackware 9.1 CDs, it would be reassuring to know that someone
else with this laptop (933 MHz Pentium 3-M, 256MB of ram, some
flavor of ATI video, an Intel eepro100 ethernet port and the
built in eraser-button pointer) got it going without too much
grief.
