My older system... (Newbie)

[Alex Layfield]

Dell Inspiron 3200
Dell Tag (US): EBN2D for specs proper...
www.dell.com
P2-300 --- 212Mb RAM or so (16 on-board + 128Mb + 64Mb + 2Mb Shared Graphics) --- 4Gb HDD
Neomagic Graphics 128XD 2Mb
Crystal Sound
IR
USB1
Cardbus/PCMCIA
Dell TrueMobile Wireless Card

Good Points
Installation was fantastic... really very smooth... 
Online... lovely...
Ethics... impeccable... you have my full support, but I'm useless...

Irritants
  a.. Fonts resemble an M$ Safe Mode 
  b.. LCD Screen is limited to 800x600 72Hz... should reach 1024x768 at 70Hz... 
  c.. Also screen is up and to the left... ~15mm (x) ~10mm (y)... 
  d.. I have no Sound... I've found Mandrake to be the only distro to ever succeed with sound... 
  e.. City of unknown devices... 4 of them... one I believe is IR...
I'm a complete newbie, so I don't even know where to extract Drivers to... let alone how to install them... nor programs for that matter...
