Hi Meg,

I have had good luck with my Dell Inspiron 1200 . . . one of the 1500 series
should work well. With the Ubuntu 7.10 - the Gutsy Gibbon I have had no
problems with wireless drivers. All you have to do it hit F12 as you boot
and select boot from CD (at least on the 1200) and let her rip. You can but
a Dell with Ubuntu preinstalled. I don't have the URL . . . Dell hides it
pretty well on there regular site. Someone will know the URL or you can
google it.
Tim
