Linux On a Dell™ Latitude™ LS Portable

Just wondering if anybody has installed linux on such laptop, ive tried to search the Mandrake's hardware database but didnt find anything.

for 1 is Mandrake going to like the Video controller which is NeoMagic NM2200 ?

There is one listing at http://linux-on-laptops.com/dell.html that points goes to http://www.divisionbyzero.com/laptop/

My favorate..."Hardware: (or why it's worth blowing $3000 on of these)" :D

The NeoMagic cards have been supported in Linux for a while now, but I don't know about the newer ones...but it looks like the page is running Red Hat 6.1, so I REALLY doubt Mandrake will have ANY problems with it ;)

The page seems very out-dated, but that tells me you should not have many problems at all installing MDK with a newer release like 9.1
