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 :)
