Dell Inspiron 530n
Some years ago I used FreeBSD 5.4 on a home-built machine, but after a couple of hardware changes and frustration therewith switched to Ubuntu. Later I purchased a Dell Inspiron 530n with Ubuntu 7.10. I am thinking about switching back to FreeBSD and would like to use 5.4 or 5.5 but am unsure of whether it will work well with Dell Hardware. If I do use a newer release I will probably go with the latest Legacy, but would really like to use 5.x if at all possible, unless I can get some of the older software by back-port (not sure if that is the right term). I would say that I am - or at least was - an intermediate BSD user, but have been away from it for a few years now. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

- Dell launch Inspiron 6400n and 530n notebooks with Ubuntu Linux preinstalled Dell continues its push into Linux-based computers with the launch of two Inspiron notebooks in Europe. The 6400n and 530n will come with the Ubuntu 7.04 Linux operating system ready installed.
The Inspiron 530s was introduced in 2007 for the consumer PC market. It was meant to be a midranage PC for budget conscious buyers when it was released. While this system could be purchased with Windows Vista (and was somewhat popular), it was released around the time Vista had stability and driver problems.
