[OT rant] a pet peeve... webpile redesigns that mess everything up. I was looking for info on the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) website last night, and they'd totally redone the entire mess, it was all slick and web 3.0-ish,

Hi Tony, I've installed CentOS7 on a Latitude 7470 and can say for a fact that most of the suff just works, while some of it that doesn't (like HDMI, or KMS, nifty little feature I like to have) works with an Elrepo LT or ML kernels. Personally, I'd recommend the LT kernel. I also read in the RHEL 7.3 release notes that I2C support for Gen6 mobile CPUs was introduced. Thus as the

I think you need 4.4 lts kernel, for example elrepo lts. I run this time 4.8.11 with i3 6100 HP Laptop on my own special repo (Test envoirement). X11 uses a git version for the intel graphic card.

Core i5-6300HQ Processor (Quad Core 2.30G that too is a "skylake", latest gen intel CPU, you might have some issues with CentOS and the USB C/Thunderport, and/or USB 3 on those.

Hi, I'm recently retired from my university job. I am looking for a laptop to run CentOS 6/7. My university was a traditional Dell site so I've used Latitude laptops for years, currently E6500/E6510. Anybody got any experience of running CentOS on the newer Dell Latitudes E5000 or E7000. These are not certified according to Redhats' Hardware Guide. Alternatively Precision
