I asked those idiots at Dell about Linux in 2001 and they gave me the rudest reaction imagineable. I still wouldn't buy their garbage. Forget Linux for a moment... ever try to run anything on a Dell (well, a laptop in my case) that they did not ship with it? Like say a different version of Windows? Good luck there. I bought my Dell in 2001 and was forced to swallow XP Home. I wanted to run Win2K and Linux as I was developing server apps and needed 2K server. Guess what... my laptop did not "support" Win2K, whatever that means. ATI's driver's never worked on it. Dell's answer? "Tough luck". I should use XP... that's what they said. Freaking idiots. Yeah. Me too. For buying one.
