Hello!
Jim just how old is this laptop? And, ah, was XP native on it? Last
year I bought a pair of Dell laptops from the VCF East events, and one
of them, a Dell Latitude model runs Seven splendidly, and the earlier
one, also same brand, runs XP poorly. Which is curious because that's
the OS it was designed for. These are from the middle to the late part
of the twenty year period for Dell laptops.

Oddly enough, I run Slackware Linux, and it ran splendidly on the one
I had before, even WiFi worked perfectly. Yes I needed to download the
the tools and firmware to make the WiFi card work, but that was
expected. And the one running Seven is in fact the guy Dell was
selling after the model I had before, The big difference between those
and the Inspiron families are the target audience. One is for
lease/purchase and the other is for outright purchase.

I am not a big fan of Debian based distributions, including itself,
but I run one on the Raspberry Pi, but for Intel (or AMD) based
platforms I prefer Slackware. However the problem is that it's not a
supported one out there in the world of Linux supported by IBM and
everyone else.

Incidentally Fish my Dell Dimension still thinks yours is too young
to work all night.

This message will need to be interpreted by two monsters to two
different people. And can be easily understood by someone who breathes
through gills.
