Certified Linux Laptop

[Darren Grant]

I'm using a Dell 600M as well. Works great with FC2. My only concern is 
that I got it with the ATI Radeon M9 card... and it just seems there's 
overall less support in the linux gaming community for ATI.  For 
instance... cedega (winex) has all kinds of posts and complaints about 
support for ATI, and whilte it's on their to-do list (which you can vote 
for)... there's no date set for when they're going to work on it.   I 
upgraded from an Inspiron 8000 which I had running FC1... but it had an 
nVidia video card and there just seemed to be less work involved in 
gaming.  So if you had the choice, I'd go with the nVidia card, even 
though I really do like ATI. But just my opinion and if you don't game 
alot...

Everything else works nicely... including the ipw2100 card.
