Hi Jonathan, I'm not so stupid to tell these butt head Dell or whatever technicians that I'm running Linux on their precious OEM products. When they ask me over the phone to troubleshoot the system my answer is "It's just not working" or "It's giving DSOD after every reboot".
Hi Alex: The problem I had, and evidently Mr. Hall had too, is that they insist that you download their diagnostic utilities. These are for Microsoft. I could not get around that. I still think you should consider a used Laptop. 1) Most laptop's gets dropped; so why buy a new one if it is exposed to that hazard. I just think it is a risk to pay so much for a device that is prone to damage. 2) Chances are good that XFree86 will support older hardware better than the newer notebooks. -- Cheers, Jonathan
