I have a Dell Latitude D510 and am thinking of trying Linux on it. Will Linux support all my hardware ( its all stock ).
Will it support my most used programs;
Word
Firefox
Exel
Google SketchUp
Paint
Photo Shop Pro
Itunes
IE
Google earth
How dose it compare to Windows XP?
What distro do you recomend?
Will it affect and upgrades I may want to do to the computer in the future.
Thanks
I found out that Linux will support the laptop and Firefox well, as for the rest I Don't know.
Exel, Google SketchUp, Paint, and Photo Shop Pro, are the big ones.

Parts of Excel will work, its not used enough to be needed I guess. Paint shop pro will not work, thats one of the top programs I use so I will need to find a replacement; if you can give me ideas on this that'd be great. Google SketchUp will work but getting to work might be a task. I found this info on WINE hq site. WINE in a program in development to help windows programs run on Linux.
