Which Linux for laptop?


Would like to install Linux on my Acer Aspire 3000. Is there a Linux specially suited to laptops? I mean with hibernate function and keyboard drivers for the special keys, battery low warning and whatnot?

Thanks

I'd recommend you wade through this thread. I think you'll find the answer is any of them.

As a distro I like Fedora. The question was rather, which distro is good for laptops. Is there a distro which caters for laptops?

Arow is right. They all do. This is an impossible question, and you everyone simply recommends his favorite.
