Sorry, I didn't see that before.

EasyPeasy is designed specifically for Asus (?) netbooks so you'd probably be better off with a more general purpose distro for your laptop.

EasyPeasy is partilcarly good for the ASUS, as it supports ASUS hotkeys and the like, but it should be fine on any Netbook.

Out of interest, if anyone wants to try playing around with Linux but doesn't want to risk buggering up their PC, then download VirtualBox (free) from:

VirtualBox

And then you can pick from this list of ready to run "appliances" and try it out in a virtual PC:
