Linux on laptops

[stu]

	Thanks for the input! I've heard good things about FC5 from a guy who uses it 
with Cedega to play WOW online. He says it kicks MS a**, thanks to the NVidia 
drivers!
	I plan to stay with light weight Distros for now. The entire DSL distro (for 
example) is only 50M and resides in RAM so it's pretty fast even on legacy 
hardware. It's also well supported, so it can do just about anything you want 
it to do.
	As for how well all this is going to work, I'll just have to play around and 
see...
