From what I've recently researched online, ForeSight, Ubuntu, and Fedora seem to be laptop-friendly laptop distros.

If you're new to Linux, I'd recommend Ubuntu, mainly because of their large support community and easy interface.

Um, you did fail to mention (unless I missed it) what Dell Lppy you are trying this on? That said, just try a Live CD (as someone mentioned) first to see how well it works. I'd advise trying Ubuntu first, it is really Lappy friendly - even if your running an old D600 or something like that (I ran it off it's ISO image ina vitual machine on my one year old HP and it wroked fine with all it's HW)

I have had great experiences with Ubuntu/Kubuntu, openSUSE, Fedora and PCLinuxOS on my Acer Aspire 5670. Definitely the PCLinuxOS is the most user-friendly and laptop-friendly.

I've never used PcLinuxOS. What makes you like it so much?

I've not used this disto either. I looked on their site but I really didn't see anything that would interest me in it. Anyone else use it or have experience with it at all?

I heard that the best was Ubuntu, but I haven't had the chance of trying it just yet.
