I have been successfully running VMware on a Dell Inspiron 3500 for the past couple of months. The host OS is NT (unfortunately required for some unavoidable job responsibilites). I have had good luck running linux VMs (RH5.2 and Suse6.2). Very stable. Touchpad, mouse, and network card/modem function. Xwindow setup was especially smooth with Suse. I have Samba up and can move files between the Suse VM and NT. Tuning Enlightenment presently.
Beats the heck out of booting RH5.2 off an external SCSI via PCMCIA!

What are the chances of getting CmdrTaco to correct his 'update'?
