I just installed NetBSD 5.0 RC2 (Snapshot from about a week ago)
on a Dell Latitude E6400 and it worked (much to my surprise) 
flawlessly. 

I didn't have enough time to play around with it much, but all
the basic things like disk, cd, network, even APM work out of the
box.
Xorg also worked with the strange resolution of 1440x900 pixels.

I still need to look at sound and probably wireless.
The azalia soundcard is detected at least.

Many many thanks to the developers! I really was surprised
by such an easy install experience.

Here's the dmesg:
