DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL FEDORA ON THIS MACHINE IF YOU WANT A DISPLAY. I have had a total nightmare trying to find answers on how to get the video working. I have had some success with SUSE but even that had a stripe down the centre of the screen. The dsiplay is an ATI Rage Mobility 128

hey slackware 10 works great with dell c800, it pick up my x window, my touch pad really nice, but, please never use swaret to --update ur system, it will kill your OS i repeat it will kill ur system by means u will have problem loging in, but you could use swaret to install software. i have problem configuring to make 2d and 3d, can't play game, only good for workstation or server, not as personal computers.
