How big is the hard drive? If under 2 GB, that may be the problem. If you can run EMC2 from the CD, then it probably has enough memory. What Dell is this? I have installed Ubuntu on a number of Dell Optiplex boxes from GX110 to 400, and they all worked pretty well with the on-board video. I did have an ancient video card in one with less than 4 MB of video memory, and had to pull that card and go back to the on-board for that particular machine to work.
