Description: Middle-of-the-road laptop commonly leased by universities/corporations, with an ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 graphics card, Pentium M 1.7 GHz processor, 128 Mb RAM (default), onboard Connexant-based 56 kB modem and 10/100/1000 network card, 14.1" TFT display, AC97 audio, two tiny speakers, swappable DVD/CDRW with floppy or second battery. For full details, see http://www1.us.dell.com/content/prod...pecstab#tabtop

The unit works like a dream with Debian Sarge.

I had no luck getting internal wireless card detected using Fedora Core 5, but with Ubuntu, and then Xubuntu, (Dapper Drake) the internal wireless (Broadcom) was immediately picked up and functions fine on the Dell Latitude D600

Distribution: Mandriva


All works. The internal Smart Card reader if you have one does not works. Is recognized in Hardrake but not able to work. The modem does not work and I have not tested since I have no use for modems. The NIC and WIFI works right of the bat. The WiFi internal card that I highly recomend is the Intel WiFi Card it used the ipw 2200 driver. Avoid the Broadcom WiFi card only works on G networks, even on MS still a pain to ron on B networks. Anyway, Linuxant driver loader did the trick for the Broadcom card. The Intel Card will work right out the box on Mandriva with the kernel-i586-up-1GB-2.6.12.22mdk

Any other things all works right away, no config need it.

bought the laptop on an auction for 2700 sekr (swedishs coins). My laptop did't have a wifi card built-in so i bought one that was external, works great with ndiswrapper but i am planing on buying a pcmcia card that has native support for linux. everything else works like charm.
