Re: [PLUG] distro for laptop?


I use RedHat on my Gateway Solo. It took care of everything for me. Just a few tweaks when I was finished, and voila.

Hi everybody,
  my laptop is currently dual boot Win98 and a munge of Red Hat and
Trustix.  I'd like to make it Linux only, and also get some experience
with another distribution.  Is there a distribution that would be
particularly suited to a/my laptop?  If's a Vaio with 64Mb of RAM and a
6Gb hard disk, Pentium II processor. Display is a 14" NeoMagic
MagicMedia256AV.  It has a Linksys Model NP100 ethernet card, and a built
in modem TEAC CD-224E cdrom drive and a Rockwell HCF 56K Speakerphone PCI
modem.  It also has USB and infrared ports.
  That's all I can think of to say about it.  A lot of it is probably
irrelevant, but anyway....  I'd like a distribution that takes care of
installing X, and a window manager that looks/operates as much like
MS Windows as is available.
  Any recommendations?

Thanks,
Wayne
