I am running that laptop now (same model anyway - E6400), except it's probably an older version and it has NVIDIA graphics. Everything works fine, it has 3D acceleration, Bluetooth works, webcam works, audio works, but no WiFi on the default Intel card. I bought an Atheros card and took out the old one and the WiFi works fine now. I just got a new laptop today and the touch screen and ethernet port don't work by default. I'm guessing (hoping) that a kernel update will fix that though, considering the hardware is probably fairly recent and the default Trisquel 6 kernel is from 2011-2012. Andrew.
