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.

Power Management

It might very well be that your power management works just fine and only expects you to assign a key combination (which isn't there by default, because it's custom on virtually every brand).
Just open GNOME's "Keyboard Shortcuts" (not sure, mine is German) preferences applet, and assign shortcuts for every action you desire.
And, as was already pointed out, Nautilus can edit remote files just fine. In fact, I like the Nautilus way more than KDE's and I also like spatial mode, but maybe that's jsut because I'm accustomed to it.
