Gentoo is an extremly powerful distro, and if installed from stage 1
(You have two stages to install from, stage 1 == compiling everything
from source, even your base system binaries such as GCC).

Gentoo is easy to update using portage, and easy to keep track of the
software you install, along with everything being optimised for your
system, however noted compiling Gentoo from source took me 13.5 hours
including Xorg, Qt,  KDE 3.3.0 and all the needed deps for these
applications/Window systems and I have the specs as noted down in my
sig.

However going stage two would be faster for you, and should suit a
laptop no problem :-)

If any assistance on installing Gentoo just e-mail me through my sig,
or reply here. You can also get hold of me through msn:
