Hi Laura, 10.1 will work just fine for you. 2006 would be more up to date but 10.1 will work well. You can upgrade later. They're both complete systems and they should install very easily on your Dell. If you don't have Power Pack you may not have the right drivers for your NVidia card so you won't get everything from it right away but we can fill you in on that later. Welcome to Linux and Mandriva! ttfn John
