I'm using one that is *almost* what you want. It doesn't
have serial or parallel, but
it does have WLAN, LAN touchpad, sound, external display, 4
USB ports, DVD ...
It does require xorg for X to work. I've watched DVDs using
vlc, burned DVD, ....
It is a gateway M460. It does have ACPI problems and the
in-keyboard mouse button doesn't
work for me. I'm running 4.99.3 on it at the moment. As
usual, there are a few irritations
but much less than having to use a different OS
