We are thinking of purchasing two Sony VAIO GRT100 laptops for work. The machines will come with Windows XP and other software but we will be installing SuSE 9.0 in a dual boot configuration, possibly running Windows via Wine on the system.
The systems come with 256 MB of RAM. Do we need more for this configuration? Other specs ... 2.4 GHz Pentium 4 Processors 32 MB Dedicated Video RAM 40 GB Hard Drives 3 USB ports IEEE 1394 (Firewire) Type III (2 x type I / II) 1 Memory Stick Slot
Does anyone see a potential conflict with what we have in mind? Has anyone had any issues with any Sony VIAO machines and SuSE?
Thanks,

I use similar sony Viao all the time. SuSE is by far the best distro for Sonys. Everything works out of the box on SuSE 8.2, and I expect on 9.0 as well. Get more ram Actually, purchase it with just one ram slot filled, and then go to www.crucial.com and buy ram there, Better, Cheaper and great service.
