Hi,

I'm thinking about buying a new  Dell Latitude E5410 laptop, I had to sell
my LG laptop because it has a proprietary video driver that makes Linux
unable to control brightness, resulting in laptop  battery did not last even
for an hour ... =/

Anyone have this laptop Dell Latitude E5410 ? Does it run  Gentoo smoothly ?

Found nothing in the forums or  wiki (
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Category:Dell_Laptops )

TIA

If the laptop is supported by Linux, it is supported by Gentoo.

Canonical has a certification programme for its Ubuntu distribution.
If they provide full support, you must be able to get Gentoo working
as well.
