I use DELL laptops with Ubuntu and have been for over 12 years now. No issue in running Ubuntu. The only situation where we get into issues is with display drivers for GPUs like Radeon and NVIDIA. For Intel graphics, it works like a charm. I still see a few Laltitude laptops with Linux ubuntu option http://search.ap.dell.com/results.aspx?s=gen&c=in&l=en&cs=&cat=all&k=ubuntu -- Mohan Sundaram _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines
