I must admit; with the possible exception of grand old ladies like MY Dell, literally from years & years ago (when Intel hadn't quite got their act together as regards integrating all the hardware they produced, so that it worked in EVERY scenario.....a situation that is SO much better now), the majority of Dells ARE pretty trouble-free when it comes to installing the 'buntus. I've installed Ubuntu on my Mum's 5/6 yr old Dell Inspiron 15R (as a dual-boot with Windows 7), and also on a mate's Dell Inspiron 530s desktop PC, which was afflicted with a very sick Vista install. Both were utterly straight-forward; totally fuss-free.
I would certainly recommend Dells to ANYONE who wants a trouble-free Linux install.
