    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!

    With best regards,

    Markus
