I use now my DELL Latitude D600 with Ubuntu, I use it 0ne year before
with Debian Sid and not have any problem. Now with Ubuntu it was just to
put a PCMCIA memory and it recognizes without problem, sound works great
(in Ubuntu I'm still not 100% satisfied with sound) but in general it
works perfect.
