RHEL is NOT suited for laptops, and never has been. It's made for SERVERS. |
most laptops might run it mostly well,mosy of the time for most programs and most things
notice the "MOSTLY" part not all laptops will even boot the install dvd RHEL is a server class os that somewhat kind of "mostly mostly works" also on SOME laptops |
Red Hat runs very well on many laptops/desktops, it is not *just* for servers.
Here is a list of supported/certified hardware: http://www.redhat.com/rhel/compatibility/hardware/ As for your "which version" question, that is best answered by Red Hat sales people. I imagine they will encourage you to purchase the current version. |

Just me being pedantic :) :) |

I don't consider Red Hat a "Desktop" OS. I consider it an Enterprise Server OS. Quote:
You can argue that it's a "Desktop" OS because it has X, but I disagree. Red Hat, IMO, does not sit around trying to make the GUI better for the end-user. They spend more of their time making sure it is a rock solid server. If you go to their site, most of the enhancements are Cluster related, cloud related, etc... "Server Related." You don't see Red Hat bragging about their badass gui and how nifty it is. If you want Red Hat for a laptop/desktop, go with Fedora. |

I disagree however with the statement "Red Hat is not trying to make the GUI better" when in fact they are putting a LOT of effort into making Gnome 3 not suck for the upcoming RHEL 7 release. |
