I assumed that since they sold the model with Ubuntu abroad, everything would work flawlessly out of the box with ubuntu. While this was true for most things, I remember there being some problems with sound, etc. Basically, Dell has its own release of Ubuntu with some of its proprietary drivers packaged in and it was available only as a DVD which meant a 2-week download, etc... it is nicer if you can get it from abroad with ubuntu pre-loaded, should save some bucks as well.. (although you wont get the pleasure that I did of formatting the Vista drive and ripping off the sticker... :) ) And err.. sorry, I'm not familiar with the exact model nos. you posted - hope my comments aren't way off:) -Sanjay
