Dell Inspiron 3800 and Fedora Core 3

Post by hyperspace »

My new boss (old friend, long story) let me have an old Dell laptop. I loaded Win2KPro on it and then decided to try something completely different.

Posting this message from Firefox 0.10.1 running through XFce windows manager on top of Fedora Core 3.

The laptop is driven by a Celeron (Coppermine) 500Mhz processor! According to /proc/cpuinfo.

Good stuff! I run a dual boot IBM T20 at work with a 700MHz PIII. I use Linux most often but I need XP for work sometimes. I don't have any problems either even though I run the latest KDE on Debian unstable.
