I have a fairly new/old Dell laptop. It's a Inspiron 11000, and has been very reliable to me. I've recently upgraded to a desktop and I want to use the laptop for my fooling around in linux. I'd like a distro that would work easily on the laptop and then be able to, at a later date, set it up to dual-boot on my XP-Pro machine.
The only problems I see are the availability for drivers for some of the Dell hardware and my dual monitor setup on the desktop.
Laptop Specs:
2.2 P4 (Desktop processor, not slimed down for a laptop)
512MB RAM
64MB Integrated Video
Desktop:
2.4 GHz Celeron OC'd to 2.83, and can run over 3 easily
512 MB RAM
Dual (PCI/AVG) 256MB NVidia GEForce 5500?FX video cards
DVD+-RW
