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 recently bought the Linspire laptop from Walmart.com. It worked ok but. I could NOT get registered for the free 45 day CNR account. I finally gave up and installed Simply Mepis. It installed flawlessly and even came up using the netgear ma111 usb wireless adaptor. And I was able to access my favorite programs from 'apt-get'. The Walmart laptop works just fine and i only spent an hour loading Simply Mepis and 6 or 7 favorite programs... Linspire could be easy, but I didn't have to register to use Simply Mepis... I am primarily a slackware user, but the Mepis livecd installer worked so well, I may never get around to trying Slackware..
