I have here Dell Inspiron 2200 (Dell offered it new for $600 which I
couldn't resist) and although there are some rough edges (I have to use
Xorg packages with VESA driver, modem should work, but I have not managed
to make it work yet, and wireless card works with ndiswrapper and Windows
drivers) generally speaking I am quite satisfied.

BTW, the lines in /etc/apt/sources.list for Xorg drivers is

        deb http://neo.wh-stuttgart.de/debian testing xorg
        deb-src http://neo.wh-stuttgart.de/debian testing xorg

Best,

        Matej

Courage is resistance of fear, mastery of fear, not absence of
fear.
