Debian Sarge on Alienware/Sager laptop

[Michael Madden <madden@cmsrtp.com>]

Has anyone gotten Debian Sarge working on a recent Alienware or Sager notebook?

I'm wanted to buy a high end laptop and wanted to ensure Sarge worked on
the laptop before investing the money.  In the past we had a Area-51m 7700
that we had difficulties getting Fedora Core 2 working on;  I think 
FC4 fixed it.  Perhaps since Sarge is newer it's fixed as well?  I can
recall linux was upset about the IDE controller in the Area-51m 7700.

Thanks.
