Configuration: 15”XGA, Celeron1.4, Intel 910 chipset with integrated graphics, 256M, 40G, DVD/CDRW, Wi-Fi, LAN.

Installation:

I used Ubuntu 6.04alpha (DapperFlight3) Live CD with GParted onboard to resize ntfs partition. I defragmented the partition by native Windows tool before.
The installation of Ubuntu 5.10 was smooth.

Wi-Fi	Intel PRO/Wireless 2915ABG	Works	out of box. You may want to use gtkwifi GNOME applet to search for available networks.
Modem	Conexant D110 MDC V.9x	Problematic	Non-free drivers from lunuxant.com support it. Pulse dialing mode can't affect line 'ready/tone' status, so can't dial.

Plus:

Suspend/Hibernate: sometimes work

Suspend works if not install linuxant.com modem drivers.
Hibernate works if deactivate LAN. Strange enough LAN does not appear in 'Network Settings' after

Fact: Dell sells this model of notebook in France with Mandriva linux preinstalled (press reliase eweek.com article).

Could you check is Mandriva provide any specific patches for this laptop. -PaulSladen
- So far found this specific to Dell laptops GNOME applet hot-applet-for-dell

Overall: working computer with linux.
