I have been buying off-lease used Latitudes and Precision laptops for years for the sole reason that they are always Linux friendly and solidly reliable. Most of them can be ordered new with Ubuntu.

When you go to the Dell Linux site and choose shop now you are taken to a page featuring Windows 10 machines.

[OT rant] a pet peeve... webpile redesigns that mess everything up. I was looking for info on the BLM (Bureau of Land Management) website last night, and they'd totally redone the entire mess, it was all slick and web 3.0-ish,

Hi Tony, I've installed CentOS7 on a Latitude 7470 and can say for a fact that most of the suff just works, while some of it that doesn't (like HDMI, or KMS, nifty little feature I like to have) works with an Elrepo LT or ML kernels. Personally, I'd recommend the LT kernel. I also read in the RHEL 7.3 release notes that I2C support for Gen6 mobile CPUs was introduced. Thus as the

I think you need 4.4 lts kernel, for example elrepo lts. I run this time 4.8.11 with i3 6100 HP Laptop on my own special repo (Test envoirement). X11 uses a git version for the intel graphic card.

Slide it towards the front, until its raised position indicator is aligned with the I ("off" is aligned with the O). The WiFi power indicator is on the front panel, in a group with about 4 LEDs... the WiFi indicator appears to actually *say*

I bet my wife's new Latitude 15 5000 would be problematic, it uses USB C/Thunderport for its docking station which has 2 additional video adapters in it. She's even having some issues

Hi, I'm recently retired from my university job. I am looking for a laptop to run CentOS 6/7. My university was a traditional Dell site so I've used Latitude laptops for years, currently E6500/E6510. Anybody got any experience of running CentOS on the newer Dell Latitudes E5000 or E7000. These are not certified according to Redhats' Hardware Guide. Alternatively Precision
