Yeah, you're correct about laptop support.
And yes, knoppix is a good try as you don't have to install it and they really keep up on their drivers.... they have to it's a live CD.
After a year.......... you're missing alot. The speed in which OSS software evolves is unprecedented.

Mandrake 9 was released in 2002. You're in for a big surprise the next time you try. Fedora Core 5 comes out next february. I recommend giving it a try.
I'll give one of them a whirl when they've improved laptop hardware support. No use in frying something, or burning a CD and finding out I can't run the thing.
