[CALUG] Linux on a laptop

[Chuck Fullerton]

I was able to install Ubuntu on a P2/400 with 384MB RAM.  If it will run on
that, it should run on anything!

I personally like the KDE desktop, and with KDE-4 coming out with the new
version of Kubuntu I would say thats the way to go. I have used several
distros over the years, but for a laptop, that most things will work on off
the bat (provided usability and functionality is what you desire), Ubuntu,
Kubuntu are your better options. Open BSD is just not there yet, but pain is
good and you will learn a lot :-o) I will admit I have not used the OpenBSD
for a little while and perhaps its better now, but Linux is what you asked
about anyway.

I've heard that OpenBSD is bitchin'.

On the other hand, you can go with the sheep and choose something like
Ubuntu.  ;-)
