Some very important points which are critical for laptop users - any
distribution which we want to install on a laptop must support these.
1. Built-in support for IPW2200, firmware included. Installing these
is a lot of work manually.
2. Hibernation support
3. Support for special buttons (especially IBM)
4. Easy to use network manager which supports automatic network
configuration for DHCP, including wireless (e.g. network-manager)
Furthermore, having w32codecs and msttcorefonts being quick to install
(with the help of our installsmen) is important.

Hi,
As usual I'm calling for your help, to choose the right distribution for
the crowd.
The population we aim to is the average person who wants everything to
work properly, with an easy update/install mechanism, easy installation
methods (has to be graphical, at least), and with a lot of support
("back"). We don't want Linux for a specific purpose, but we want to make
Happy Linux Users (because their machine is working properly, and not
because they can get support every second :).
Please stick to this and give me at least one advantage and at least one
disadvantage of the distribution of your choice.
For now, I am going to check (at least) Fedora Core 5, Ubuntu 6.06 and
Suse 10.1. Without any connection to the 3 distributions I've just
mentioned, I'll probably go to 3 directions: Linux for desktops, Linux for
servers (which will probably be on a DVD), and Linux in the pocket (some
live CD that works on a 8mm or i-cd).
So, please help me out here. Your comments are most welcome (including for
the distributions I mentioned).
Regards,
Adir.
