Hi,
I've been using sarge on my Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop for a while now with no

people have installed debian on Dell 8200s before, but I thought I would share
my experience. I would describe myself as fairly knowledgable about linux... I

I lived with it for a while because I was finishing my PhD, then moving, then
