Hi List,
I have two quick questions:
While customizing Lenovo T61 from their website, I have an option to choose 200GB HDD, 7200rpm, w/ FDE. Do you know what that "w/ FDE" stands for and will it be o'key with opensuse?

And another one, I can choose between Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG and Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN, I know the first one has no problems with opensuse, but what about the second one? Is it preferable to buy second one?
openSUSE 10.3 includes the iwl4965 driver. I am using a R61 with the 4965 card and iwlwifi driver right now to write this article. The ESSID of my wireless AP is not hidden (since hiding offers no security benefits) and it uses WPA. Furthermore, it survives suspend-to-ram. Please read this section about the 3945 drives of the openSUSE 10.3 release notes: http://www.suse.com/relnotes/i386/openSUSE/10.3/RELEASE-NOTES.en.html#14 The statement that the iwlwifi driver does not support hidden networks AFAIK does not hold true anymore: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=327684 An overview over the "tricky" parts of the installation on my R61 can be found here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Installing_OpenSUSE_10.3_on_a_ThinkPad_R61 HTH Jan -- If tempted by something that feels "altruistic", examine your motives and root out the self-deception. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
