I would like to point out that this is a great laptop for Linux users, if they upgrade the wireless to Intel 3945, and leave the graphics as is. I ordered the same laptop the last time it was on sale, and when running Ubuntu 7.10, which will be released halfway through October, everything works out of the box except for sound, which can be fixed by running the following in a terminal:
sudo echo ‘options snd-hda-intel model=3stack’ >> /etc/modprobe.d/custom
For Windows XP, a lot of drivers were missing from the Vostro 1400 support page. I found almost all of the missing ones on the Vostro 1500 page, but I had to get the sound driver from the Latitude D830’s page instead:
