Dell's Linux Compat

[Justin Bennett]

I had a PII Latitude 450mhz. I had linux on it ran great. Can you get
specifics on the video, sound, ect? Then you can check Hardware
compatability list from redhat or whatever dist you want. As long as the
hardware isn't too new it should be supported by the latest release of
whatever distribution.
