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.

the Author makes to many excuses to love his linux laptop.
stick with Xp dude.
I realize you are just being a troll, but I felt the need to respond:
Why? Why should he/she settle for an OS that doesn't suit them? I personally dual-boot my Dell Inspiron 1000 with Windows XP and Debian Testing. I spend the majority of my time in Debian, but ocasionally boot into XP to do something for work. I find Linux does pretty much everything I need it to do, and actually prefer it to Windows.
The whole idea of freedom, as it relates to software, is that it gives the users freedom to use the software they want, the way they want. For those of you out there that prefer Windows, good on you, enjoy it. For those that prefer OSX, same thing. Don't look down your noses at those of us that like Linux or one of the BDS's, because that's what we prefer.
