That's completely wrong. Most people who post here don't have anything to
say about Dells. What _is_ common is people who do have Dells (particularly
Inspirons) having trouble with both video and mice. That's a result of (a)
Dell having zero support policy for Linux; and (b) not checking the list
archives. So, yes, if you need your hand held you want to stay away from
Dells, but its no big deal if you can use google or the list archive.

That's pretty primitive, isn't it?
