Hi, I have been using DR17 for over a year now, and I use it successfully on my thinkpad t43 laptop in a corporate environment.
Works 99%, even with a dual monitor setup. Love the fact that the second monitor I connect to my laptop acts as an independant desktop. The only two issues I have is that since the last cvs build the screen lock no longer accepts my biometric finger scan, so I have to manually type my password to unlock, and also that any shelves created can't seem to exist on the second desktop/monitor. Knowing that a rebuild from CVS could break when I try to do an update (which is a problem when trying to meet a deadline), I always keep a spare 4 gig partition to which I first mirror my base install, and then do the CVS build on that. I can then happily dual boot between my stable build and the new one, and once I reckon the new one is stable, I move it to my main partition. Doing this had always allowed me to keep up to date without the worries of breaking my system. Personally I think DR17 is stable enough for daily use.
