    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.

    Laptop Specs:

    Inspiron 5150
    Mobile Intel® Pentium® 4 Processor 3.06GHz, 15-in XGA

    RAM 512MB, 333MHz, 2 DIMMs

    Video Card 32MB DDR NVIDIA® GeForce™ FX Go5200 AGP 4x Graphic

    Hard Drive 30GB Hard Drive

    Integrated Network Card

    Internal 56K Modem

    8X Max Variable DVD-ROM Drive

    Primary Battery 96 WHr Lithium-Ion Primary Battery

     Dell 720 Color Printer

    Does anyone have a laptop like this? I haven't looked into it yet but I'm just
    wondering if anyone does use one of these and if they work or not. I won't be
    using the modem, so that doesn't matter.

    I have a Cable connection, so the NIC hopefully will work. And Printers...
    I've never used one in Linux before, so that will be new to me.

    I have about 60 OSs, including SUSE Linux 8.1 8.1 and 9.1 Professional, and
    BSD and Other Linux distros, and I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck
    with this system.

    So what do you guys think? This is my first laptop, and I'm hoping it works
    out. Are Dell Inspiron Laptos generally good? Good with Linux?
