Dell Linux??? That is a new one on me. From my experience Dell is 99% M$ centric. I have installed distributions of Linux on just about every brand of brand name laptop including Dell Inspiron and Latitude.... well, had to boot one Latitude with a USB pendrive with the Fedora boot installation on it.... and yes, the pendrive had DSL installed on it also. When there is a will... there is a way. I will say that brand spankin new Dell Hardware can be a bit sketchy sometimes, but the Linux crews catch up fairly quickly.
