Dell Inspiron 537s

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Dell recently changed their Ubuntu desktop series... they
now have an Inspiron 537s.  Has anybody used one with
f11 or rawhide?

On a related topic, it would be great if a few key fedora
developers/testers had access to systems like this so
I would know before shelling out $500 that it's likely to
be well supported.  I'd even kick in $20 to the fedora
project earmarked for the purchase of one to sit in a
cube at redhat as a fedora test machine.  Are there 24
other takers?  ;)  Seriously though, I think there might
be wider adoption of fedora/Linux/pre-loaded Linux
vendors if users felt more like developers had access
to the exact system they buy.  I have struggled with a
crappy intel driver on my IBM thinkcentre for the last 6
fedora releases and I'd really like to not repeat that
experience when buying new hardware.  Since the list
of pre-installed Linux systems from major desktop
manufacturers is pretty short, it seems like it should be
easy to get such a system on a desk at redhat.


FYI - here's what a 537s has (with defaults except changing
the intel graphics to ATI) for $479 + tax/shipping:

Ubuntu Desktop Edition 9.04
Intel Pentium dual-core E5300 (2MB L2, 2.6GHz, 800FSB)
1Yr Ltd Hardware Warranty, InHome Service after Remote Diagnosis
2GB Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 800MHz- 2 DIMMs
320GB Serial ATA Hard Drive (7200RPM) w/DataBurst Cache™
20" Dell ST2010-Black High Definition Monitor
16X DVD+/-RW Drive
ATI Radeon HD 4350 512MB
Integrated 5.1 Channel Audio
No Speaker Option
Dell Consumer Entry USB Keyboard and Mouse
No Floppy Drive or Media Card Reader Included
No Modem Option
Piano Black
My Accessories
Inspiron 537 Slim-Tower w/ Black Bezel
Integrated 10/100 Ethernet

Anybody see any red flags with fedora compatibility there?

Thanks...
