When dell goes and say "shop at dell and avoid the middleman" then i expect to get a cheaper computer, As they say them selves, they don't have any stoch, they don't have any shops you buy directly from them. When i buy i then have to wait 10 working days to get the thing.
I can go to almost any other major/minor company and get a similar computer delivered next day at the same price, sometimes lower and sometimes a little higher. Service and features are for the client computer side roughly the same in DK for most major companies (dell, FujitsuSiemens, IBM, Acer and so on).
Anyways that was a little off topic.
I have run OpenBSD on a few Latitude laptops from Dell and always seem to have problems with the sound. anything else works great.

We ditched Dell mostly due to their inherently retartded policy of not shipping AMD-hardware.
With the introduction of Opterons there's just no valid reason for being an Intel only shop any more, we now have multiple HP DL 145(AMD Opteron based) of which some run OpenBSD, we're very pleased with HP so far.
