useful laptop specific apps?

[Noah Meyerhans <noahm@locust.lcs.mit.edu>]

Hey all.  I have gotten my new Sony Vaio all set up nicely with X and
sound and PCMCIA networking and stuff like that.  It really wasn't too
hard.  What I'm wondering now is what apps are available to make mobile
life easier.  I've installed things like wmbattery to monitor battery
status and stuff.  Is there more than that?  Since the machine is
mobile it will be moving between networks often (sometimes with dhcp,
sometimes with static addresses).  What do you folks find helpful in
this situation?

Essentially I'm hoping to get some of you folks to share your opinions
on what the indispensible mobile linux apps are, since I'm coming from
desktop experience only.

Thanks
noah
