On this page I've gathered some stuff about installing Linux on the Dell inspiron 6000.
For now I'll just include a link to my kernelconfig and Xorg Config. NB. You need linux-2.6.11 and xorg-6.8.3 or preferably 6.8.99.x and newer to get the i915gm graphics driver working.

With xorg older than 6.8.99.x you can download snapshot (called i915-..) from here http://dri.freedesktop.org/snapshots/ and run ./install.sh when unpacked. Then the i810 driver works, except I have grey stripes when playing AVI files. This bug is gone in the 6.8.99.x versions of xorg.

I have yet to test bluetooth and get fancontrol (i8k) working.

My wireless ipw2200 card now (after some bug reporting and buggin) works in adhoc mode, but it is sometimes rather unstable, so I wrote small script that fixes/wrestles the card back online when it fails :) - see here for details: http://www.bughost.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=608#c12.
