Correct, I ordered a nice Dell a few months back, loaded MEPIS (linux) and never looked back. It took all of about 20 minutes to install, most of that time was spent formatting (automatically) the HDD for MEPIS. It found all my hardware and configed it with no problem at all.


I'm running Windoze / MEPIS on this pooter right now using "dual boot" option.
