Linux on a Lap top



I was curious to know how many readers on this list run Linux on a laptop
on a regular basis.
>From what I understand, the list of Linux device drivers for laptops is a
little more limited than for desktop systems.  I know Linux has come
a long way in the past few years and I would think that by this time
that loading Linux on a laptop would be no more difficult
than loading it on a desktop system.
My motivation for getting a laptop is to have a dual boot system
running Linux and Winblows.  Are certain Linux releases more "laptop
friendly" than others?  Has anybody experienced loading Linux on a 
WinBook?
