Hi Anton There's a very informative Linux on Dell Inspiron 7000/7500 web site: http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~steveh/inspiron/ My personal experience: I'm running RedHat 6.1 on an Inspiron 7000. Everything works except for the sound - because the Maestro wavetable sound systems is not yet supported (there are patches at RedHat, but I'm not brave enough to rebuild the kernel). Also, for some reason, I needed to install RedHat 6.0 first and upgrade to 6.1 in order for X-Windows to work, but this may be my problem.
