I'm currently working on getting Debian onto a small Acer laptop, which is not trivial. I've run it on a netbook for several years. But laptops and servers are solutions to different problems, and don't generally need the same hardware and software. I wouldn't run Gimp on a server, nor a RADIUS server on a laptop. -- Joe
