I use a Dell 6430 at work, and everything works with Debian. It's been<br>
a solid workhorse.<br>
<br>
My Mom is now using a 6430 since her machine flaked out and I knew<br>
this would work.<br>
<br>
For myself I got a 6530 15" with i7, and while it's excellent for some<br>
reason the screen brightness buttons don't work.<br>
<br>
Other than that, I've found the Dells run Linux flawlessly.<br>
