I have a Dell Inspiron E1505 that came with Ubuntu pre-installed, and
it works quite well. The only thing that has never worked right is

I'll soon be able to spec. a new laptop for my new job. Can anyone
recommend any systems that can run the latest Debian
and support all the hardware out of the box? I prefer IBM and Dell
