| 1. Depends on so many things.... do a search for your laptop |
|
model # and linux and see if someone else has done it.
That is what I did, and it saved me countless hours, skiping the mistakes already made.
Mine, a Dell Lattitude LOVES Knoppix.
Another one I did, a HP choked on it.
Go figure.

| 2. A friend swears by Gentoo |
|
The installation is not as easy as some, but he really likes it on his ThinkPad.
A different -- and crazy -- friend of mine advocates Debian, but he has Issues.
