I'm considering setting up FC3 in a dual-boot configuration with a Dell Inspiron 2600 laptop and was wondering if anyone knows of any gotchas or unsupported hardware. From the cursory checking I've done so far there's the possibility of having Anaconda freak out and I'll get the a Fatal IO Error 104 from mini-wm during install, but supposedly text-mode install should work. Things I'm mostly curious about are power management features. What kind of support for powering down the hard drive and fan is there? Alsothrottling the CPU to conserve heat/power, and most importantly, s2d support. Am I going to have to look at the swsusp projects and pick one to roll in by hand, or has any effort been made to integrate one into the distribution?

i've had good luck running RH/FC on both an inspiron 7500 and, currently, an 8100. i don't think you'll have any troubles.

What about power management features?

that i can't tell you about, as i was waiting for this latest FC3 test release before i got seriously into that.
i may look around and see if there's a forum specifically related to FC on inspirons. i know there have been a few over the years, i suspect they still exist.

Cool. Another good place to look, which I am about to check out, is the linux-dell-laptops Yahoo group. There's no specific forum for it, but you can usually get answers from end users at forums.us.dell.com as well.
