== Kubuntu Laptop Support ==
I am very interested in great laptop support in Kubuntu. Kubuntu is already best debian-based distribution in that regard, but there are some development that we need to follow closely to keep up-to-date.

=== Power Management ===
Ubuntu power management is based on hal, acpi-support scripts and powernowd. This is then controlled with gnome-power-manager (GNOME) and klaptop (KDE). Problem is that klaptop is quite buggy and unmaintained.

There is major work going on on [http://powersave.sourceforge.net powersave] & [http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=29295 kpowersave] solution: see KubuntuPowersave for details.

=== Network Management ===
For mobile users, good network management is key. Kubuntu is currently lacking in wireless management tools (wifimonitor, knemo). There are some alternatives:
 * [http://wlassistant.sourceforge.net wlassistant] - not in Dapper yet, but may be easier to get in than networkmanager.
 * [http://www.gnome.org/projects/NetworkManager networkmanager] - older version (0.5.1) is included in Dapper, but latest (0.6) is just discussed in [http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=139334 forums]. KDE front-end (knetworkmanager) requires latest (0.6) version.
