Todd,

I have 5.1 running *very* happily on my Dell Latitude LM133.  The trick to
getting 5.1 installed on the LM is getting the updated install/boot disk
image from the Red Hat ftp site.  The original disk would panic with an
error about the PCMCIA chipset.

The NeoMagic chipset is also now supported via the XBF driver Red Hat made
available.  800x600 @ 256colors on the LCD.

Just max out your RAM and get a 4GB harddisk and away you go...
