Today, there is no shortage of reviews on Linux on the Desktop, but I think we can benefit from more "Laptopized-Linux" experiences. As laptops keep dropping in price and increasing in terms of computing power, they really make a nice platform even for cpu intensive applications such as sofware development, desktop publishing, web design, etc. And as you will see in this article, installing Linux on a laptop is not as hairy as you may think.

I dual boot my Dell 600m with XP and SuSE 9.2, although just this weekend I tried the Kubuntu Hoary. They both installed and operate flawlessly, save the Broadcom wireless (something that ndiswrapper solves quite nicely).
Overall, I have to admit that I was tempted to try Kubuntu with all the fanfare as of late. But Suse has won my heart. I will leave Hoary on board until Suse 9.3 comes out then my distro swapping days are over. I'm locked and loaded with Suse on the laptop.

Thanks for your perspective. Great article.
