Thought I would add a little more on this subject. Every major OS I have used, and I have used a dozens has utilities for laptops. I don't recomend adding this to DSL because it is not consistent with the goal of keeping it small. On the other hand please consider that a brand new cheap desktop computer capable of running Microsuck WinBlows XP efficiently can be had at Fry's Electronics for $150 while even the cheapest of new laptops cost $600+, so people tend to use there laptops longer, and buy them used more often than desktop computers. With the added functionality of their take anywhere design they hold their value much longer than desktops as well, so a laptop edition of any OS that is extremely small, lightweight, fast, and system resource friendly is a good idea. This laptop edition should at a minimum include a battery power meter that tells how much battery power is remaining (pref. in minutes), & if the laptop is plugged in tell the charging progress (either in minutes remaining to full charge, or current % of full charge), and another must have is fully configurable suspend/hybernate like features.
