[linux-laptop] A notebook for Debian and Mandrake

[Bob Sully]

I have two older Dells (Inspiron 8100s) which have run any flavor of Linux
I've installed so far, including both Debian testing and unstable, and
Mandrake up to 10.2.

Now these are old machines, but most Dells seem to be pretty
Linux-friendly; hopefully this includes the new ones.  :-)

HTH -
