Dell's Linux Compat

[Robert Meyer]

Well, if it's anything like the Inspiron series, it should work pretty well.

I recently installed Mandrake 9.0 on a Dell Inspiron 8200 (loaded) and
everything came up perfectly.  I downloaded the OpenGL drivers for the Nvidia
Geforce 4 that was on it and had fantastic performance.  I think that it uses a
standard modem so that should work as well.  I was impressed with the thing (I
WANT ONE!).
