I'd be all for getting something other than a Dell, but they were the
only ones I could find that offered a laptop with a screen resolution
meeting or exceeding 1600x1200. Does anybody know of any other, more
Linux-compatible, laptops with that kind of resolution?

Thinkpads.

As mentioned in another post, there is good linux documentation about
them. Before purchase, you should visit www.thinkwiki.org to see what
works and how it works on linux and how others have configured their
systems.

I would have to second the thinkpad option. I am running etch on a t42 with 1600x1200 resolution and I couldn't be happier. I do have a friend who had some difficulty with getting etch to run on his t60p, mostly because of his video card (ati), but he got that and everything else working.
thinwiki.org is a life saver if you need help firing up Linux on a thinkpad.
