I have a Dell Inspiron laptop that's about 1.5 years old. It runs 14.04 LTS just fine. With one exception: The external USB CD/DVD drive is not supported. The built-in CD/DVD drive works like a champ, so it's okay. So

I went to their website, opisrael.com, yesterday and today. It's been counter-hacked by Israelis, and apparently it stays hacked when the Israelis do it. There is a large security industry in Israel.
