Your best bet would be to ask Dell. I personally opted out for SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop. I find it to be far more polished than Ubuntu. Especially in the upgrading department. I use all type of Linux distributions, both for work and for personal use. For personal use, I find openSuSE to be the least error prone for things to "Just Work <TM>". That is a personal opinion, but I base that decision after trying, debian, ubuntu, mandriva, gentoo, slax, kororaa, sabayon, fedora ... did I forget anyone ? I just wanted something where I plugin the DVD, install and it just works. I also figured, that Dell would get me a better deal on the paid version of SLES with bundled plugins for multimedia which is always nicer. I don't think this is the time to be OSS zealots. What I want here is for my hardware to work in Linux. If they choose SuSE, how will this affect me as a Gentoo User? It probably still will, since those drivers will be available upstream in the next version of the linux kernel. Changes happen one step at a time.
