And furthermore, you can ORDER A DELL WITH LINUX ON IT. If I ever buy a complete machine (unlikely), it will probably be a Dell. Indeed, my gateway machine is an old Dell 386 running SuSE 5.3.
I know that dell are a hell to use.....
The hardware is BAD it is using a soft modem and a slow and old graphics card.
We use dell machines at work but they are hell to setup. Just getting the network to work takes 30 minutes. And the hardware is not commen hardware you can buy in the shop.
I wish you luck installing linux on such a machine.
You gona need it,

Hi! I've got an offer of my employer to buy a DELL mashine for a good price. But how do I know suse is working on this? Especially the graphic card is a critical component. I've tried the suse hardware database, but most of the components do not exist! Please, anybody who have experiance with suse and some of the components below, help if you can!
The machine is a DELL Intel Pentium II 400 MHz. Chipset is Intel 440BX. Graphic card is ATI Rage Pro AGP 2X 8Mb SDRAM
