Subject: Hardware question from "fly-over country"

I'm in RURAL SW Missouri. A local used/surplus computer store is offering a
Dell Latitude D620 (4GB memory, 80GB hard drive, Intel Core Duo @ 2.4 GHz)
for ~$500. It reportedly has the majority of manufacturer's warranty.

Any comments on how suitable a Linux platform this would be?

TIA

Those are awesome. My D630 is still in use as my wife's primary machine, and
my D620 is our spare. I was actually much happier with the D series in
general than I am with the E6410 or E6420, which I'm using now.

In short, they rock. They Just Work (tm). The only thing I've heard people
like better is a ThinkPad, but personally, I love me some D630/620 series
machines.
