I was about to ask the same thing. I'm using a Dell 1100 el cheapo
with great satisfaction with mdk 9.2 and win2k in VMware. Love it.

I'm running off of a Dell Inspiron 4150, I've had no prolems. Other than
a few routine _fixable_ or known issues with most laptops... ACPI
support is one. I still can't plug-in/un-plug my power nor can I close
the lid, so to speak. Without Linux freezing. But apparently those two
issues are completely fixable, there are a couple of mailing lists and
forums, specifically, for linux on laptops... some informational
websites ect ect I'm sure if you google the laptops names that you are
choosing from you will find a couple of people that maintain that same
type of install that you do or that you plan to do. I was lucky enough
to contact someone that had the exact same laptop and is a Linux power
user of sorts. He helped me greatly. This type of buddy buddy attitude
can only be found by the people that know your exact situation. Kind of
like "It's a Jeep thing you wouldn't understand", same idea.
