I wish I could find something to help me convert my dell laptop into a Debian device. It would be all sorts of fun.
Ive had luck with puppy on older laptops. I have one running on a 2008 machine. Works ok.
Yes, that is how you install the OS. I meant little strangenesses found in dell hardware that I might encounter
If the laptop is older than the last release of Debian, there shouldn't be any problems at all.
