Hallo Gruppe,

Which is not opensuse-mobile-de as most posters seem to assume :-( (No I don't want to be pedantic, just want to stengthen the international commmunity; many postings over the last months could easily turn away users from this mailing list or even openSUSE as a whole.)

My fault. I mixed it up.

...

eigentlich habe ich keine Probleme, sondern möchte nur mal ausdrücklich die neue Version 11 loben.

This form of feedback is always welcome :-)

Also Image von der Platte gemacht und ein Update durchgeführt.

Is this a dual boot machine?

It is. Although I haven't boot Vista for a couple of month. Last time my kids wanted to watch a DVD which was copy protected. No chance on linux, but the MediaPlayer worked fine. :(

If so, is openSUSE reliable when shrinking the Windows Vista partition which has a HPFS/NTFS filesystem? (Unfortunately, I have to keep the Windows side of my laptop :-( )

What program did you use to make the disk image?

I'm using Arconis True Image in my Windows environment. Therefor I used it also for shrinking the Windows partition. So I can't tell you, if OpenSuse is trustworthy. But anyway: Making an image of your disk is always a good idea before you try something.

So, it might be easy now for me to start with openSUSE 11.0 on a SONY VGN-NR21M.

I don't know if openSuse is working fine on your Sony VGN_NR21M. Have a look at http://tuxmobil.org/sony.html or http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/sony.html to find notebooks with similar hardware. And for a quick test you can download the LiveCD.
