It looks like that is a pretty good laptop, so you could try pretty
much anything.  Livecds are Patrick's territory, but maybe you could
try one of them.  Maybe Mint or Mepis?  I would say pclinuxos too but
I think they're on the verge of a new release so it might be better to
wait a bit until it comes out.
