My company INSISTS on putting NT on laptops, even though there's poor power management support. I hope that Linux will support power management in Dell's configuration!
I use Linux to get the images off the flashcard for my digital camera. I found a company that manufactured a "PCMCIA" slot device for PCs. It looks like a floppy drive bay. The media for my camera (a Kodak DC-210) come with an adaptor to make it PCMCIA compatible. After recompiling Linux 2.0.36 for PCMCIA support, I could access the flash card like a disk drive. I wrote a little script to coordinate copying these files and deleting the PCMCIA card. Send me some email if you want the code and more details.
