Good Points: I was able to divide the drives into 3 partitions, using partition margic, and dual (or triple) boot the Windows XP that came with it together with Linux 9 and Win2k
Bad Points: Battery wouldn't last more than 90 minutes on a plane.
General comments: After 5 years of usage, my Dell Inspiron 6400 no longer starts up easily. you have to keep pressing the start button almost 20 times before you are lucky to get a boot, and half way through the boot-up, the whole process freezes and you have to pull the plug to start again. I'm now learning that the hard drive recognition might be failing and is a typical problem with this machine after the same years of usage.

I initially wanted to dual boot Windows 2000 and Mandrake Linux 8.x, but found that the Radeon 9000 video card in the system had no drivers for either (there is a Radeon 9000 driver in both, but these drivers are not compatible with this laptop). I was forced to use the Windows XP that came with t ...

The delivery of my Inspiron 8200 from dell was a nightmare, the tech support is a continuing nightmare with no one knowing what is wrong with the computer. i have a next business day contract and it doesn't matter. when they don't turn up they apologise, but only if you call them.
