[RLUG] Linux on a laptop

[Sebastian Smith]

Damon,

Laptop installations are considerably easier than they used to be.  I do 
predict two problems though: wireless card drivers, and video card 
drivers.  Depending upon your hardware, you should be able to get both 
running.

Since you already use LFS, Gentoo is a great choice!  Let me know if you 
run into problems.  Definately check out http://forums.gentoo.org, and 
http://gentoo-wiki.com.  Actually, the last advise goes for everyone. 
There are a lot of Linux problems documented in both locations, and many 
of them are not distro specific.
