I'm writing this on a 5150 running testing. No big problems. I haven't been able to get suspend/sleep to work, but I can't say I've tried too hard either. Getting DRI acceleration working was a bit convoluted, but with info from a few websites I managed to do it. I can provide kernel .config files or other specific info if you are interested. This machine is about a year old, I don't know how much the hardware has changed in recent 5150s. Wireless card will definitely not work (except if you use ndiswrapper, but I'd rather not go there). Another thing I have not managed to make work is the modem, but again I haven't put much of an effort into it. It's kind of heavy, good if you want a semi-stationary laptop, but the screen is big and beautiful, the keyboard has a reasonable size, and battery life is surprisingly good for a 15" display.
