Hi all,
I just ordered my first Laptop machine, and I'm wondering if anyone has used the same model, or knows if it works with SUSE Linux, or at least works with Linux in General, because I really don't plan on leaving XP on it.
/snip/ I should think it would be foolish not to have the capability of XP. Suppose you suddenly need a program that's only available in Windows? With a 30 gig HD, you could certainly allocate 10 gig or so to XP, and still have plenty for Linux. Maybe XP will run on a lot less, I don't know. I use two hd's to keep the OS's apart. (I'm temporarily stuck in XP, and thank God I have this capability. Otherwise, I would have to reformat and lose all the Linux stuff. I can at least try to salvage the Linux system data, from here.) I'm not partial to MS, but there are certain advantages to having the capability to use their stuff. Let us know how the Dell works out, please. --doug
