Hi guys,
I'm looking at buying a Dell Inspiron 6000 notebook. Does anybody have any experience with SUSE on this notebook?

Typically, Dell notebooks are easy on Linux. I have an Inspiron 600m with 10.0, and pretty much everything worked out of the box. I just had to fiddle a bit with the lineakd to get the correct OSD for the volume controls. Also, my wireless was auto-detected without a problem. The only issue there is that it doesn't auto-connect to my home network, even though it says it is in KWiFi. Odd, but workable. I haven't tried the modem yet. Only other problem is that the Dell Financial Services website expects you to have IE. I complained and told them to get with it, since they sell Linux servers. -- kai ponte www.perfectreign.com linux - genuine windows replacement part
