Ubuntu and Dell XPS m1530

Since a month I am the happy and proud owner of a Dell XPS m1530 laptop. Its configuration is the following:

* Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T9300 (2.5 GHz, 6 MB L2 cache)
* Graphics: nVidia GeForce Go 8600M GT with 256 MB video memory
* Screen: 15.4-inch widescreen, 1680 x 1050 CCFL with 2.0 megapixel webcam
* RAM: 4 GB (2 x 2GB) 667 MHz DDR2
* Harddisk: 400 GB SATA 5400 RPM (Samsung)
* Wireless: Intel 4965 AGN WiFi
* Bluetooth: Dell TrueMobile 355
* Fingerprint reader
* DVD+/-RW slot-load drive
* 90W AC adapter, standard 9-cell battery

Installing Ubuntu is a breeze, all hardware is recognized and configured automatically. However, you have to set up a kernel boot parameter to avoid the cursor from going crazy. This is a well known problem, and easy to fix. For this fix, and other tips on configuration and installation of Ubuntu, I found an excellent wiki. Of course you shouldn't forget to check out Ubuntu Forums.
