My Dell CPi was another corporate laptop (the replacement for the Thinkpad). This one was fast enough to run StarOffice, so I used Linux more on it. Unfortunately the corporate email was MAPI-only Exchange so I still had to use NT a fair amount.
Anyway, the Dell was more challenging to get Linux onto -- probably because I started trying with the horribly buggy RedHat 6.0. When I got 6.1, install went smoother and things got more stable. For now, let's just say everything worked except the docking station, which appears to be a SCSI bus. I couldn't figure out how they get video and networking over a SCSI bus, so.... I also never got some of the niceties like initiating APM hibernation during undock.
