Hasn't been mentioned here - yet - so here it is: before having switched to 
MacOSX on my laptops, a few years back, I used to have great success 
w/Mandrake as linux distro, on mobile systems (Toshiba, Dell and IBM). Their 
urpmi tool was better than YAST, and it was the only Linux distro which 
installed right  of the box on those systems. Finding update sites (including 
the PLF ones!) was also very easy, via:

http://easyurpmi.zarb.org/

I am not sure how their 2007 is, but it may be worth a try ?!?
