Give Knoppix a try too. Thats a nice little Live OS that you don't even have to install. (it boots right off the CD in less than a minute.) You just download the ISO, burn it to CD or DVD, and boot it. Its quite amazing too, it has nearly everything on it. (open office, gaim, mp3/ogg player, etc..)

LOL ACPI, standby and hibernation. You'll see what I mean soon.

I think almost every Linux distro has live cd.. its a lot diff. from installing Linux on your hard drive.

Try the links i posted and see if your dell hardware will work or not.. Also download some Distro live cds and test yourself.
