I have one of these too and can agree that it's a very nice machine. However,
I've got a few nits.
+ The audio chipset isn't found under FreeBSD 6.1. If anyone knows how to
get the Sigmatel STAC9200 to probe, I'd love to hear about it.
+ There are no drivers (yet) for the optional Intel 3945abg wireless. There
is a driver in OpenBSD that will hopefully be ported over soon.
+ I'm having some odd problems getting Cardbus wireless cards to work. They
act mostly as expected, but dhclient refuses to associate with any AP. If
I ifconfig ath0 by hand, it associated just fine. The problem is similar
to this:

But, like I said earlier, overall I do like the Latitude D820
