I used for a while, an Inspiron 9200 with the WUXGA or whatever 17"
screen, Centrino, Broadcom enet and Intel 2100 wifi chipset.  Everything
worked, including sound, on Solaris 10, once I added the freeware
Broadcom ethernet and Intel 2100 drivers.

Not sure if AOpen is the toughest built notebook; however most if not
all things should work.  I would guess that the software modem (if it
has one, a/k/a WinModem) will probably not be supported.
