So I'm asking you, if you have a laptop, what kind is it? Does arch run pretty well on it (synaptics, sleep/wake, etc.)? What window manager do you think works best with the touchpad (I'm using gnome now)?
My main laptop is eeePC 700 2g surf, and it runs arch perfectly. Using a lightweight wm with allot of lightweight software I have no complains. Tough the touchpad works the way it should, I don't really like using a touchpad much, or a mouse for that matter. So allot of keybindings for all possible tasks, and a tiling wm (but I also use fluxbox and openbox allot) works best for me. Only problem I have is sometimes suspend/wake doesn't work, but I'm working on that. -- Helgi Kristvin Sigurbjarnarson <helgikrs@gmail.com>
