installing RHCE/FEDORA on DELL Studio 1555 notebook
Hi,
i have just bought a new DELL Studio 1555 laptop which has already Windows Vista- home edition in it,however I would like to install Red Hat Linux or Fedora on this laptop which can also support Oracle 10g.Can anybody please help me solve this issue. Below is the link of the laptop to give you an overview of the configuration.
Shouldn't be an issue. Go ahead and install Ubuntu/Fedora or any other distro. Oracle for Linux is available. Just search and you should be able to get download files from Oracle site.
Unless you can afford the subscription fee of RHEL you may want to use Centos instead. Centos is RHEL with the logos removed. It is free to download/update(unlike RHEL) and has a five year support life. Fedora is ok but any one version is only supported for 13 months, after that there are no official updates of any kind.
As newcomer, desktop user I would suggest you not to go in for Red Hat Enterprise Linux / CentOS. (In case you missed it, 'Red Hat Linux' as a distro does not exist. There's just paid RHEL and free Fedora from the Red Hat company.)
