Vostro customers desire to a version for its notebooks. Also one that decides the problem of the brightness control. Thanks.

I agree that everything that dell has done is greatly appreciated. They were the first (that I know of) to offer Linux on consumer oriented computers, and even remastered Ubuntu to support their laptops, they created the disk remastering utility for anyone to build their own distribution including other vendors, and are creating dkms for drivers. With everything that dell has done, I am sure that they have earned a lot more respect from the linux community, and that they have earned respect from everyone for their direct2dell program. I know that I at least have more respect for them than any other computer distributor.

I really appreciate the initiative taken by Dell Computers with respect to the Open source technology. This kind of move will definitely encourage Linux or Ubuntu users to talk freely about any issues they have while using it.

DKMS and biosdevname releases

Good but not good enough :-(
There are also problems with the network card that is much slower than it is on windows, but I think if I look hard enough I could find the solution for that since it's just a default onboard network card of broadcom, but the s/pdif on a port replicator seems to be quite a unique configuration.

I really don't want to give up my sound :D
The pc-speaker works fine but the s/pdif doesn't work at all and since I'm not that real experienced in searching which driver suits my hardware for linux systems because I don't really know the "ins and outs" I couldn't find it and finally gave up.... :-|

Maybe somebody with a bit more experience can give me some tips to get me pointed in the right direction.

Thx

Will there be more remastered releases of Ubuntu for Dell systems?

I would like to know because I have a Latitude D620 and would really like to run Ubuntu but I can't seem to get s/pdif working from my port-replicator :(

If your only problem is your s/pdif on your port replicator, I'd say thats very good.
