Don't overlook Linspire / Lindows. I ran a copy of it for more than a year on a Sony Vaio laptop and it served me well. I wonder if there are other versions of Linux specifically for the laptop?<br><br>

<div>I have been running Knoppix Linux from cd for some time now. I have two machines I want to reformat and run Linux on.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The first machine is a Toshiba Laptop, a Sattellite 1735. It has a 60 gig hard drive, 700mhz cpu, 256meg of ram.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>The second machine is a home built AMD Athlon, 120 gig hard drive, 2200mhz cpu, 512meg of ram.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have several versions of Linux available, and would like what version would be best. I believe Fedora is the current release? Knoppix has ran fine from the cd, but I have been told by several ham friends to run Red Hat instead. Any comments/ suggestions would be appreciated!
