Hello! I am using a Dell Latitude 610c. FC1 works perfectly on this machine, but I got several problems with FC2 test1 because of the alsa architecture... as I was running out of time, I stopped testing for the moment. Before I had a thinkpad 770Z, and it took a lot of work to get that damn crystal 4236 soundchip working (RH 9). But all other was also working good and quite fast. The only problem with the 610c I had was with the ethernet cards in the docking station. The problem was that I never got the default gateway running on the eth1 (the card in the docking station), on eth0 (builtin) was running ok. As I know, on a Dell Inspiron 8100 and Toshiba Satellite (dont remember the model) it was also installing and running without problems!
