Linux/Fedora & Dell Inspiron

i'm evaluating Dell notebooks to run new Fedora (Linux) Core 2. Apparently Linux works well on Inspiron 5100/5150 but no clue about new Dell 1000 or 1100/1150.Does anyone have Fedora or Linux experience with these Celeron CPUs? Thanx.

    The CPU itself is completely supported. Celeron chips are identical to their pentium counterparts, the only difference is that Intel disables some of the cache on the celeron to slow it down.

    The rest of the hardware is well supported too. Go ahead! Install away and have fun!

    I installed Fedora Core on my 1150 today, everything works great, right off the bat, EXCEPT for the modem. Make sure to get the BIOS upgrade for your system from Dell, however, or you will have real problems.
