Oookie dokie. I've only asked two people about this, and I'd really like some more opinions.

I got a new laptop for Christmas. I really want to put Linux on it, but I've heard that it doesn't work that well on laptops. I've never used Linux before, but I have a few books and stuff on it.

I have discs for Red Hat and SuSe Linux.. If I were to put Linux on my laptop, which distro should I use? Should I even put it on my laptop?

By the way, the laptop is a Dell Latitude.

Thanks so much if any of you can help..
