Dell is having a sale -- ends tomorrow, Wednesday.
They're offering a laptop for just $600. Is there any way to predict that this unit is likely or unlikley to work with SuSE 9.1 or, hopefully, 9.2?
Here's the URL with the details.

Thanks! Gil
I have a 1150 running suse 9.1 right now. Only problem was with the video. Problem went away when I upgraded the bios. I got the wireless card for it and using linuxant it goes on the air reliably, much more so than with XP which I rarely use. In fact, I expect to delete the xp partition pretty soon. Cant tell you about the 1000 but I think they are pretty close. Dell has a two or three week return with no questions. However, it starts to run when they ship the thing.
Caveat emptor! Richard
Thanks to Sid and Richard for their replies on this inquiry. Gil
