[K12OSN] OT: best distro for laptop

[aust_txv at ACCESS-K12.org]

I have used three distro's in the last few months on two laptops.  Mandrake 
10.0 comminuty, Fedora 3, and SuSe 9.1. Currently running fedora 3 but I 
think I am going back to Mandrake due the speed of package updates.  I am 
not married to it or anything.  SuSe 9.1 from what I read is OK, but 9.2 is 
better for a laptop.  I have not tried Mandrake 10.1 yet.  I must agree 
with Lee, Fedora 3 was pretty friendly and easy to install.  I don't use 
wireless and battey life is not an issue.  I am looking for the fastest 
package updates so I can run the latest Gimp 2.x.x. and Blender.  Debian 
maybe ?  Thanks.

FYI  fedora 3 and Suse 9.2 Professional on laptops.
