FWIW I am up and very happy on an Inspiron 5150, updated to latest up2date 
stuff from a test2 install... and listening to Lene Marlin via Alsa and 
headphones to block out the sound of my kids frolicking at Half Term :-O  A 
slight shadow of closedness from Dell means there is no way to get S/PDIF up 
in Linux currently, otherwise its fine.

2.6test9 is working, but I cannot recook the nvidia drivers even with the 
minion.de patches, so I am running the latest RH 2.4, since I need twinview.  
nvidia's drivers are definitely the sore thumb of proprietaryness.

Important tip.... the synaptics XF86 driver worked great on my Inspiron8000 
but for whatever reason causes hard lockups on the 5150, so don't bother.
