Hi Jeff,
I've tinkered with various versions and flavors of Linux on everything from servers to notebooks to iMacs, and there were a few Dells in the bunch, the only machine that really gave me issues was an old Racer with an AMD K6-2, that refused to accept anything other than Libranet or Knoppix... I can't speak for your new Dell though, but why not give it a shot and let us know how things turn out...
Good Luck,
Mike
