I have installed Knoppix and Debian on several Dell laptops - Inspiron 3000's and Latitude 610's. Never had a problem. I use both sid and woody. I was not able to install it on a Sony Vaio, so I got rid of it!

I've been told to put together a machine quote for my office. I want to run Debian on it. I tried to persuade my employer to use Monarch, but was told I have to use Dell. I'm not sure of the best way to go about putting together a machine from Dell which has good general Linux support as opposed to Red Hat support. I've taken a look at Dell's Precision line of workstations, but it looks less than ideal. For one things the descriptions are less than specific about what hardware is included. Also, there is not as much choice as I would like. I was hoping to somehow actually be able to do a significant amount of customization without breaking the bank. I'd greatly appreciate hearing about people's experiences of success with Debian on Dell, and related advice, suggestions, and working configurations. Thanks in advance.
