Dell inspiron 100 linux problems...HELP!

Hi people,

I installed Red Hat Linux 9 about a mont ago on my Dell laptop and selected all the universal drivers during set up…the installation went fine then when I rebooted to start linux I got a few late errors at the startup which mean that it would’nt start…I’ve since put XP back on my laptop but I’m thinking about getting Gentto linux and giving that a go.

my question…does anyone know of any problems with the inspiron and linux???
