I have FC1 and XPpro on a Dell 5100. Both run great. I had to do nothing to get all the hardware working (except modem which I did't try as I have fat pipe) The broadcom NIC that was supported by the mnfgr with a src.rpm in RH9 is now auto detected and humming along when I ran first boot. Sound was there, touch pad was fine...everything really. Although I did have to manually select Display->Dell->$desired_resolution (1024) during install, if you don't mind 800x600 then you don't even need to do that. On XPpro though I needed to install drivers for all included components...(it came with XPhome)...The M$ kernel doesn't do more than basic hardware :)
