I'm considering picking up a Dell 8100 laptop. I've seen a number of web sites affirming that the Dell 8000 is compatible with Linux in general and Debian in particular. I've seen nothing, however, on the 8100. With laptops, a minor upgrade in model number can signify anything from a difference in the amount of memory installed to a completely different motherboard and components. Anyone familiar with the 8100 and it's compatibility with Debian?
Also, I know that choice of laptop brands and models is highly subjective, but I'm open to recommendations for alternatives that are feature and price competitive with the Dell 8100.
