I've been given another professional laptop in June 2010 : Dell Latitude E6400 (well, with XP that I customized with putty, OpenOffice.org 3.1, remains at least inkscape to add... 7-zip & firefox were already there ;-) ).
As usual, I've chosen to dedicate it to yet another installation of a libre OS : Mandriva Linux 2009.1
see
http://hardware4linux.info/computers/sysinfo/3971/ for included hardware (wifi, webcam, check bluetooth...)
seem to correspond to
http://hardware4linux.info/system/3849/ in fact :) or
http://hardware4linux.info/system/4063/ more precisely ;-)
Dell Latitude E6400 working with GNU/Linux
Installation with Mandriva Linux 2009.1 One Gnome (USB key), ~1h
120 GB hard disk (27 GB for GNU/Linux), 2 GB RAM,
Linux localhost 2.6.29.1-desktop586-4mnb #1 SMP Mon Apr 20 17:37:07 EDT 2009 i686 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P8400 @ 2.26GHz GNU/Linux
All included hardware seems recognized (check, see below technical data)
- touchpad ok (sensitive o_O)
- wifi (broadcom ok now), ethernet, webcam ok
- graphic card (intel inside) well recognized
- check suspend to ram / disk : works ok
- connection to 3G ok (ppp installation required)
- check bluetooth and CDROM/DVD
- autonomy : ~5h30, seems fine ; after six months, seems to be 4h15, still fine
