T5500 vs T7200?

Why would one need a good graphics card in a laptop ? That's what Desktops are for. 7,200 RPM drive ? That leads me to another Q. How much more of a battery drain are 7,200 RPM drives ? I have heard they REALLY chew up the battery and add loads of heat....

installing new network card in linux

Solaris uses names similiar to the type of NIC, like Realtek is rtl0 or something like that. I think sticking to the eth0....eth9... etc make it easier to find, but to each (distro) there own.

quick repartitioning question

Mandrake can resize NTFS partitions. Boot with CD 1 as if to install, get the partitioning, resize your NTFS partition and then switch off to end the installation process. (unless you want to put Mandrake on there, which i strongly advise :) )

KDE vs Gnome for my new Mandrake Install?

xfce4 is coming along nicely. But more designed as a lightweight, super fast Desktop manager for slow old systems, many people use it on high end systems too (must reach super sonic speeds on those systems. :) )

Linux distributions

I think use Linux if your used to it :) Otherwise use Linux if batch, fast, high quality encoding is in order. If special effects are the way then may head to a Mac or Windows. Essentiall, I agree with shortylickens

Inverter creating interferance for HDD & FDD ??
