ClaasTeichmann: I installed Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) using the alternate-CD
["Hirvinen"]: I installed Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) using [http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html UNetbootin], since I did not have an optical drive. This worked fine for me, but note that this is an unsupported method. At least back up your data. See ["Installation"]. I then upgraded to Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron).
["Kogen"]: I installed Ubuntu 8.04 using the desktop-CD. Everything is working fine.

Notes
Resolution
After the installation the resolution seems to be correct although System/Preferences/Screen Resolution shows 1200x1024 instead of 1280x800. This can be corrected via displayconfig-gtk
Harddrive
Noises originating from the harddrive seem to be originating from a problem with the power-saving settings of the harddisk. The problem is discussed [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695 here (bug 59695)] and [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/104535 here (bug 104535)]
I used the following work-around taken from [https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/acpi-support/+bug/59695 here (bug 59695)]:
- make a file named "99-hdd-spin-fix.sh". The important thing is starting with "99".
- make sure the file contains the following 2 lines:
hdparm -B 255 /dev/sda
- copy this file to 3 locations:
/etc/acpi/suspend.d/ /etc/acpi/resume.d/ /etc/acpi/start.d/
Touchpad
This is not a synaptics touchpad, so the nice utilities for configuring those don't work. So far I haven't been able to disable the bit too sensitive tap-to-click feature or turn this completely off. Will post here if I find a solution.
Bluetooth
According to Dell's driver downloads page D430 has a Dell 360 bluetooth module. I got it to work partially by installing the newest Windows driver (on Windows) from Dell's support page. (workaround discovered thanks to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=572335 ) The bluetooth device disappears on suspend-to-ram though.
Card reader
The card reader works now(2008-03-29) without having to do anything extra. A month ago it was necessary to issue command "sudo modprobe sdhci" before it would work.
