Linux 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.

GNOME and remote files

To edit remote files, open Nautilus, from file menu select 'Connect to Server' and fill in the details about your SSH/FTP/Samba/WebDAV server and save. An icon to browse this should appear on the destop and can be used indefinitly from then on (even after reboot). To edit, just drag and drop files to to GEdit for instance.
