SuSE with KDE
I have a tablet PC and had trouble installing any distros at all. Poor support in Linux distros for notebooks (i.e. only hotplug CD/DVDs)?
SuSE was the most suitable distro for me. I'm running SuSE 9.0 at the moment and also building a "linuxfromscratch" system. I've tried all versions of SuSE between 9.0 and 10.0. 10.0 is a great distro , I really liked it but I couldn't compile the touch screen driver under xorg so had to go back to a distro with xfree86 (9.0). I've also read about issues with MP3 players and SuSE10.0.
KDE is the default WM for SuSE (SuSE10.0 gives a 'one-click' choice between KDE and gnome during the setup) and is the WM I've found has the best laptop tools; I couldn't get the laptop tools working under gnome (noob at work). XFCE4 is a cool lightweight WM and it's straightforward to download and compile a battery monitor that sits in the systray.
