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.

New Debian Installer
by Dave on Tue 5th Apr 2005 17:23 UTC

I've had access to older laptops for a while, and have tried a wide variety of distros on them. In the end I stuck with Debian Sarge with the new installer. I'm a relative newbie, and in very little time had my wireless with 128-bit encryption, dual boot etc. all working fine. I will say the new Progeny with the old RH installer is nice too though. Just my 2 cents. Debian is not nearly as complicated to install now as it was 1 year ago. Nice work guys...
