RE: Installing on a Dell Latitude

[Kevin_Saenz dell com]

Sorry Guys, I haven't installed Linux on Laptops at Dell.
Only Servers :)  I guess if you want the Laptop to recognise
the Docking station you might have to contact Dell tech support
if your querstion goes in to the too hard basket they well then
send you off to redhat to support you.

I.H.O redhat should install nicely onto a dell system (wish
I got paid for that bit of info) As Dell is pretty close
to being generic.
