Do you mean drivers for Linux or Windows XP? A friend recently bought a Dell laptop with Windows XP and found that the Windows drivers were not yet ready. Tech support (I don't know whether Microsoft or Dell) made him reinstall the operating system before admitting that it was known that the display driver had known problems. He returned it (and then took a job with Microsoft - go figure!).
I have successfully installed several releases of several Linux distributions on my Dell Latitude C640. It boils down to which laptop model and which operating system. For Linux, check out http://tuxmobil.org/dell.html To check out hardware compatibility with Linux, download the Knoppix live CD from http://knopper.net or an OpenVistA VivA FOIA Gold live DVD from Source Forge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/worldvista). If it boots successfully and things work as advertised, you can install Linux from the CD/DVD to your hard drive. If things don't work to your satisfaction, shut down and eject the CD/DVD and your laptop will be unchanged - i.e., the hard drive will be untouched. Good luck. -- Bhaskar On Sun, 2005-08-07 at 14:51 -0500, Peter Franklin wrote: > Hello anyone. > > I hope to download VisitA and Cache to a dell laptop.
