Can anybody verify that Debian runs on a Dell Precision 420?

It has an integrated dual-channel (Ultra 160 & Ultra Wide) SCSI controller.
Does Debian support it?

There are several video cards to choose from:
        Diamond Viper V770D, 32 MB
        Elsa Synergy Force
        nVIDIA GeForce 2 GTS, 32MB DDR
        Matrox G400 Max, 32 MB (dual monitor capable)
        Gloria II Pro, AGP Pro 4x, 64 MB
Does Debian support any or all of them?  I intend to do rather basic X stuff
on Linux & common PC-ish stuff on NT/Win2000.  Any recommendation on which
video cards to prefer or avoid?

More fundamentally, is there a better Dell system to use for Linux &
NT/Win2000 in a home sort of context?

All pertinent advice will be appreciated.
