a lot of people I work with have debian, redhat, and
freebsd running on their dell inspirons. I have a
toshiba satellite, and the only distro that seems to work here is redhat 7. (debian
worked with several
hours of tweaking by a local linux guru.) be aware
when you buy a laptop to look at the actual
hardware it is running. for instance, if it has a
built in modem, is it a winmodem chipset...is the
sound compatible, etc. but from what I've seen, dell
would probably be your best bet. or, if you don't
mind spending the cash...go with the sony vaio.
