I believe Dell has repositories with drivers, etc. for other Linux distributions as well (probably for the modem, etc.). The only major difference is that sometimes the Windows variant of a model comes with an ATi video card, vs. nVidia for the Linux version. Unless you need good 3D graphics, for business use I'd probably just get the Intel GMA3100 anyway. Is your budget pre- or post-VAT? The Latitude D630 starts at under $900 in the USA market.
