Minty Dell(icious)
Success with one Dell leads to trying another. The "old" Dell also runs Linux like it was made for it. Oh. Wait. Linux is made for almost everything.
Dell C400 and Linux Mint 3.0
First off, a bit of background about why I would be on this Dell / Linux Laptop riff lately. Up till recently, I have only ever installed Linux on one Dell, and that was back in the 1990's. It worked fine. The Dell hardware of the day was a real brick. Solid. Worked. Easy to work on. Very very slow by today's standards: 286 or 386 processor. I had a few negative Dell laptop hardware experiences on some of their later 1990's / early 2000's gear that put me off working with them any more. Part of my definition of a good computer is one I can fix when it breaks, and that particular time-series of Dells appeared to be designed to not be serviceable by anyone with less than four hands.
Things change.
