I have a Dell 520 and running Ubuntu almost full-time.

I don't know what the differences are between the 2 models, but I think 
it is possible.

As a general aspect, most of the things work, suspend works sometimes (i 
think it depends on the moon shift -- I wasn't able to find another 
reason) and in 8.10 I had kernel panics due to the Intel wireless 
drivers. Now running 8.04.1, updated today, no issues.
