    I want to running Ubuntu Linux on the Vostro 1500 when I buy one.

    Do I need any driver(s)? And what's your experience using Ubuntu on Vostro?

    I've got a triple-boot system with ubuntu, xp and vista on my vostro 1500.

    Ubuntu runs flawlessly, although i don't remember if all components worked right out of the box...
