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.

On my old powerbook Lombard I found running OSX to be tedious on the machine. It only had 384mb of memory and a 20gb hard drive. Running at 400mhz most poeple expressed that OSX should of ran well on the machine; however my experiance was not as good as most. I chose to install Ubuntu Warty (later upgraded to hoary). It brought my old Powerbook back to life and ran far much more effecient than OSX. I ended up selling my powerbook, with Ubuntu installed, and have now purchased a Gateway P4 1.6ghz 450LX. When it arrived I removed Windows XP and installed Kubuntu. I love the KDE interface and Kubuntu works with every device in my Gateway laptop including DRI on my Radeon. I am very pleased with the performance of it on my Gateway and will probably not look at another distro. Thumbs up to the Ubuntu team!
