I also may run virtual machines too. Nowadays the vast majority of hardware just works. The biggest issues seems to be in Wireless and high-end video support.

Don't get a Dell unless you like a really shiny screen. -- russ...@coker.com.au http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Main Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
