i've had the same linux installation on my dell lattitude cp for 6 years [upgraded 
software piece by piece of course] and i've had no problems whatsoever... i love my 
dell.  i'd buy another one immediately if they'd sell it to me without software, which is 
a joke.  so my next laptop will be a mac i think.

maybe i've just been lucky with my dell, but i have to say i've been very very pleased 
with the performance and stability.
