Linux is great and I'll definitely use it on this Dell, but again, it's not an OS for the casual laptop user. Yeah, you could argue this but it just turns into a loop. Gotta love the Beryl + Compiz Rob,

I put my mom on a Dell laptop this year that had Ubuntu and she learnd how to use it with no problem. I on the other hand dont hav to worry about virus, malware, trojans and other Windows goodies on her machine. We run Linux servers at work so I know very well how flexible Linux is, my colleague uses it on his 10 year old Thinkpad T21 which I gave him and it works like a charm with low spec machines. Dont fear teh Linux. Especially if you consider yourself techies. Its not more difficult to use than Vista or OS X and you have much, much more choices of desktop looks. >On the downside? 4GB of storage, only 512MB of RAM and Linux.
