Anyhow, if the laptop is to be on a network, you might
consider running all your apps on a nearby host and using
the laptop as a terminal... the lightest way to do it
would be to use the kernel frame buffer device and fbvnc on
the laptop (and realvncserver or tightvncserver on the
nearby host).
Just a tip; instead of VNC based GUI Terminal, try FreeNX
(http://freenx.berlios.de). If you have a network connection with speeds
=56Kbps, then you can work remotely, but with a near local speed
experience...!
