I'm running Mandriva 2005 LE on a couple of laptops - a Dell Inspiron 
9000 and an IBM Thinkpad 600e.

Everything works fine on the Thinkpad (when I can get the hardware 
working, but that's another story) except the sound - which is 
apparantly due to a munged up chipset on that model.

Mandriva has some nice features for laptops - including a wireless 
network tool.
