Linux runs fine on the Dell 4000 Notebook that I have. I bought it to run WinXP but it shipped with WinME on it and I couldn't stand that so I installed Mandrake and RH on there in the meantime just to see if they would work. This was Mandrake 8.1 and RH 7.2. Everything ran fine.
Also check Slashdot.com, a recent story asked the same question about Linux compatible laptops yesterday or two days ago.
