I'm running very old Dell laptops that were headed for the recycler. The price was right (free). The initial loads of Fedora 14 installed and ran perfectly. Many months of worry free operation. It was my rush to move to Fedora 15 that shot me in the foot.

I can assure you that I've wasted many more hours helping people with Win 7 problems. Definitely a time burner. The D820 isn't even supported by Dell for Win 7.

I’m running a newish Dell and I have had zero hours OS-related down time (a hard drive crapped out, though), although I do little more than surf/email/upload/download music
