Hi Chris,
I just wrote a HOWTO on installing Debian Linux 3.0 on my Dell Inspiron 8200, and put it up for everyone else to read! Check it out at http://rain.prohosting.com/qmatrix1/DebianDell8200/ Please send me any questions, comments, etc!
Did you put a link on www.linux-laptop.net? Would be nice. Greetings Andreas
