might as well kick the tires on RHEL 3.0 ... ES or AS.
for the laptop, ES is plenty :)

Even though the webpage as SuSE does not indicate it,
UnitedLINUX is dead. SuSE and Novell do not wish to be
associated with SCOG, at least from what I have read
at sites like GrokLaw (http://www.groklaw.net).
Jonathan Gennick could comment again regarding
installing Oracle 9i R2 on SLES 8.0, or you could
review his comments in the freelists archive.
SuSE announced the 9.1 version of their desktop
products, but I did not yet see a mention of the SLES
9 product. Its a bit early for the 2.6 kernels to hit
production in the enterprise space.
I haven't been checking the SuSE mailing list.
The oracle-linux-l list at fatcity has been very
quiet.
If you are running on IBM or HP hardware I'd seriously
consider SuSE. If you're a Dell shop, the choice has
pretty much been made for you already (RH).
This much I can tell you: (talking trash)
The amount of time it takes to rebuild a storage
system on Dell is a HUGE dis-incentive to use their
Direct Attached Storage in future projects.
(over an hour to re-sync a single 18 GB mirrored set).
The Dell | EMC units (Clarion) are pretty sweet,
though.
hth.
