[CS-FSLUG] Laptop and Linux - what to do?

[John Mark Clayton]

I have Xubuntu on a Sony Vaio VGN-FS760/W.  It runs great.  The only
thing that doesn't work is the built in memory stick and the Fn keys.
Not a problem for me.  I like Xubuntu because it's a full feature linux.
It uses Xfce as the window manager which uses less resources than
most of the ususal WMs.  I've used numerous distros: several Red
Hats, a couple SuSes, Caldera (remember them? I worked for a sister
co.),  Mandrake as well as several embedded and homebrewed distros.
IMO, there isn't that much different between them.  Of all those I like
Xubuntu the best.  (But I'm someone that misses NeXT and OS/2 so
make your own conclusions.)  One of the things that I like Xubuntu
for is apt-get and synaptic.  For me they always work.  SuSe's YaST
and Red Hat's RPM manager failed me so often, I usually just compiled
from a tarball.  Now, I hardly ever have to revert to compiling from
source.
