When installing Debian on an Eee PC netbook, the "Software selection" screen shows "Desktop environment" is selected by default, but not "Laptop".

enter image description here

As laptops are similar to netbooks, should I select "laptop" when installing Debian?

The Laptop task contains the following packages:

$ tasksel --task-packages laptop
wireless-tools
acpi-support
cpufrequtils
acpi
wpasupplicant
powertop
acpid
apmd
pcmciautils
pm-utils
anacron
avahi-autoipd
bluetooth

Wifi, CPU frequency scaling, ACPI, Bluetooth, etc. So yes, you probably want those things.
