I'd have the laptop run Linux, but I'm having a problem with Ubuntu and my nVidia GeForce 6150 that's integrated in it. Is there a different distro that works better with nVidia?
Slackware is good if you're not afraid of dirty hands. Knoppix might also be a good option.

What particular issue are you having? I've got quite a lot of experience getting things sorted between Linux and nvidia...But seriously, who needs X? j/k
