Installing Fedora 9 on my Dell 1520 was pretty simple task, pretty much everything was recognized, but there were a couple issues.
I haven't got the integrated webcam up and running just yet.
(As soon as I do get it working, Ill post the info)
Tapping on the touch pad to click something doesn't seem to work just yet either.
I had to use ndiswrapper with the bcmmwl5 driver.
(Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4310 USB Controller (rev 01))
All together (not including troubleshooting on
Fedora Forum) it took about an hour to install the operating system and config the system to suit my needs.
Here are the specs:
Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core Mobile Processor T2370
4GB, DDR2, 667MHz
250GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive
Intel Integrated Graphics Media Accelerator 3100
Dell Wireless 1395 802.11g Mini Card
Integrated webcam

Nice specs on that laptop. Mine is are bit older (years and years), so I am running Puppy Linux on them now. One ran FC4 and the other FC6 before moving to Damn Small Linux, now Puppy.
Good luck resolving your remaining issues and let's hope Ike stays away.
Saw your post on Fedora Forums and came to have a look =)
