The linux that Dell ships is Feisty Fawn Ubuntu 7.(04?) I believe. You can go to their website and dl a live cd, pop it in, restart and it will run the OS off the cd. That way you can try it before you even order your laptop. As far as cheap laptops go, I bought an Inspiron and it didn't hold up very well, neither did anyone else's that I know of. You get what you pay for I guess. If you go with a new dell, definitely get the extended warranty.

Something else you could try is a refurbished or scratch & dent system from dell outlet.
