bad for CLI install with debian and slackware. the bottom of the screen is missing during the CLI install. i am to new to Linux to get past cfdisk as i could not get it to take the 'W' command to write the partitions.

the GUI install with RH9 was extreemly simple and took from putting in the CD to first boot and configuring new users 75min. that as a semi server configuration.

RH was able to 100% detect all devices and install working drivers for them including my USB mouse.

the laptop is extreemly heavy, but as with its namesake it is very durable and can handle being knocked around a bit.
