I have a Toshiba 5005-S504 that I want to run Linux on. Does anyone
have any experience setting up Linux on this model? Any issues I
should be aware of? I'm assuming the distributions out there today
support laptops better than they did a few years ago. Are any of the
distributions more laptop friendly that others?

I'm a novice with Linux at this point but I want to learn more. Any
information will be appreciated. Thanks.

Terry
