I'm trying to choose a Linux distribution for my laptop, please help.
Requirements:
1. Console, X-server is not needed
2. Wlan raised from the console

A couple of application items that do not depend on the distribution:
3. Dropbox
4. Console editor with syntax highlighting © and saving indents

How and on the basis of which distribution is it all easiest to implement?

Can dropbox work from the console?

Yes, based on almost anyone, I would choose Archlinux. There is also a console yast in opensuse, which can be conveniently configured for a lot of things.

I'm using regular ubuntu 10.04 with ifup + wpa_supplicant, more details here:

99% of the time I just turn on the laptop and I'm already online.
Vim editor :)
Sometimes you need a browser (only chromium does not slow down on eee 1005PE), for this you use a wrapper script that launches xinit + e16 + chromium-browser.
