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.

To cut things out in stone: Gnome is fully network-transparent through GVFS. If your Nautilus says it can't display ssh://blahblah then there's something wrong. GEdit can _not_ edit files through GVFS. This is design decision. If you want to edit remote files I propose using Bluefish or some other GVFS enabled editor. This works flawlessly for me
