Re: Dell now selling Linux

I had fits on my Dell n510 with the ATI X600 and analog flat screen with
Ubuntu 6.10. Nary a prob with 7.04 though.
As far as server support, just ask the permanent fund IT people and the
resultant duplication of data entry because of their top notch tech support.
Tee hee. Seriously though, I beat on dell laptops and the hardware just
never quits. I'll probably upgrade to a Dell laptop soon...
