Has anyone have any luck in installing linux on a COMPAQ Presario 1800 Laptop? I've tried fedora and rh9 and both error several times and when they finally did install they wouldn't load X it seemed. I would just get a blank screen with the X cursor and that's all or it would freeze during boot up. I tried Mandrake Move just to test the system and it was able to boot into it and loaded KDE but the computer did lock up a couple times.

Is there any other distro someone can suggest that might have better luck or they have had better luck, or am I doomed to just reinstalling XP back onto it? Thanks.
