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 have been using Linux as my only OS on my Dell Inspiron 8000 for going on 3 years now. I have been able to do every thing I need development wise and school wise. I originally ran enlightenment r15 then I moved to kde and then to Gnome. Now I currently am running the cvs version of enlightenment r17. I don't see the difference really between using my laptop and verse's my desktop the only thing that I see that is a difference is the batter monitoring and wireless connection. I definitely recommend people to run Linux on their laptop. The only down side I see is if people want to dual boot they don't have the option of having a bigger hard drive easily. The featurs he was mentioning in Ubuntu are already included in Gnome so I really don't see what the difference is between the destroys besides user preference. I personally enjoy using Gentoo because of the speed increase I get because of compiling every thing for my system.
