Has anyone had experience with Linux on this hardware? I'm especially wary about ACPI problems, as my current laptop Toshiba Satellite L305 series has problems overheating even with the dual-core processor running at 1GHz which, incidentally, is my only choice of CPU frequency. Neither omnibook nor toshiba drivers have helped with this. I'm aware Dell offers Ubuntu on one flavor of Inspiron 15, however the processor is T6600 instead of the newer, more efficient and powerful i5 series. Regards,
I'm running Squeeze on a Dell E1505. This is an older version without dual-core. The CPU is 1.7 GHz, I believe. I haven't noticed any overheating. If I can figure out the way to dump the system parameters to email, I will send them to you. BTW, when I installed SQ to the machine on a third partition (with WinXP and PcLOs) its non-gui grub lost PcLOs. I had to use a live PcLOs to straighten things out again. Now I can boot any one of the three OK. --doug --Blessed are the peacemakers...for they shall be shot at from both sides. --A.M. Greeley
