Linux Compatiblity with Dell Dimesion L

andyn · 07-04-2001, 08:48 AM

I am interested in buying a Dell Dimension L series and was wondering if anyone else has installed RedHat on one? I tried looking up the specs on some of the hardware, but couldnt find the type of mother board. The video card listed was not on RedHat's hardware list either.

Thanks
Andy

Dell supports linux OS (Red hat in particular). I don't see any problems with it. You might want to call Dell's customer/technical support or their web site to confirm.

I have a dimension L933r and havent had any problems with any distros aside from slackware 7.2 and 8.0 not liking my video card..
