Right. However Paulo might need more information:

If you have "anacron" installed the /etc/cron.*/* scripts are handled by
anacron. 

If you have "apmd" installed properly "anacron" only runs if your laptop
is plugged to external AC power.

Did you look at the "task" laptop (in "aptitude" or "tasksel")?

Hope this helps,

Jaume
