I'd advise you not to go fo Dell laptops. I have one from Dell and its now 3 months. Their after sale services are pathetic. I have some serious problems with the hardware and noone at Dell support seems to bother. They'd taken my system once for repairs, kept it for more then a week and returned only partially repaired. Now they are giving a dumb ear to my calls. My friend also had a Dell laptop whose display card was burnt out after just 2 weeks, he also had to undergo lots of trouble getting it repaired. I'd never recommend Dell products to anyone now. IBM would be a much better choice.

This is almost never since the built-in eth0 is fully supported, and I have a broadband connection to the internet. </tt> <tt>Joshua Levitsky wrote: </tt> <tt>>I'm a server guy when it comes to Linux.
