It would be interesting to know which Debian developers have which laptops. Bugs appearing on these laptops might be fixed more easily. At least it would allow bugs to be checked and possibly reproduced more easily. I'm wondering whether any Debian developer has a G98/G98M NVIDIA card to confirm bug 640464.
Good idea! Maybe http://wiki.debian.org/DesktopEnvironment is the right please to put such info?
Gentoo linux contains some similar http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Dell_Latitude_E6x00 or ubuntu: http://www.ubuntu.com/certification/hardware/201009-6534/but ubuntu doesn't show any workaround/notes or problems, so this infos are rather useless.
