Probably not the best distro for Laptops, but many people on this list are using CentOS on their laptops.

So what's considered to be the "best" choice for laptops? I understand mileage may vary and so on, but I think there might maybe be a general consensus at least?

Unfortunately I haven't had too good an experience with CentOS out-of the-box-installs with respect to wifi-NICs on laptops, but that's also the only thing I've been having problems with OTOH.

The *Intel* WiFi-NIC (Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter) on my IBM Thinkpad X31 worked mostly out-of-the-box. I just needed to download the firmware and I was up. So did the SMC Ez Connect PCMCIA card I used on my previos laptop (I think it was a prism54 flavor), also once I snarfed the proper firmware for it.
