Debian Dell Laptop Connectivity
Hi, All,
(thanks to all who answered my last laptop post, this is a follow up)
Been laboring over the laptop decision, and I am dedicated to doing this
with debian, so hear goes.
A lot of guys in my Linux SIG have the solution to throw money at the
problem by buying laptops with pre installed linux. While this looks like
a good commercial solution, I am looking for something on the cheap.
I was wondering if my bright idea was really a bright idea. Dell's
computers are so inexpensive, but their connectivity absolutely sucks
according to all things I find on the web (at least for us linux types.)
Would it be smart to say, buy the cheapest dell, and ignore the built in
modem and wireless lan, then wipe the disk, and buy a working modem and a
working wireless lan PCMCIA cards? I'm hoping that Dell would have an
option to just have the devices never installed.
What do you think?
