Personally, I have found that installing Debina on laptops isn't all that hard-
provided you take a few minutes to understand the hardware. I have slink
running on a versa v/50 and on a thinkpad 755CE- no sweat.

Debian is a bit more time consuming to install- mostly because it asks you what
to do instead of doing everything behind your back.

But if you want to *learn* linux- install Debian.

And is you have trouble, as k on the laptop list or #debian.

(Also- Debian is the best, IMO, distro for installing on small partitions-
which can be a concern in laptops.)
