working on getting dell inspiron 9400 working with linux. specs: Intel Core Duo Processor T2500 (2Ghz/667MHz FSB) 17 inch UltraSharp Wide Screen UXGA Display with TrueLife (1920x1200) 1GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM @ 667MHz 100GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive 256MB NVIDIA GeForce GO 7800 8X CD/DVD burner (DVD+/-RW) with double-layer DVD+R write capability 80 WHr 9-cell Lithium Ion Battery Intel PRO/Wireless 3945 802.11a/g Mini Card (although I thought it can do "b" too) Dell Wireless 350 Bluetooth Internal (2.0 + Enhanced Data Rate)
+ all that other stuff that happens to be there, like firewire, the tiny keyboard, a memory card reader i will likely almost never use, the stroke pad, and a bunch of weird "media buttons" on the front.
if you have any ideas on making some of this stuff work properly in linux let me know 
especially the SMP support b/c i don't know all that much about making things like that work
