I'm needing to spend money this week on a notebook. I'm planning on running both opensuse an SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop it. Can someone here running Linux on a new laptop care to share what model you have. I'm trying to spend the money while I have the permission to spend an need to buy before end of week.
Linux on Laptops maintains reports of linux compatibility for a wide variety of laptops: http://www.linux-on-laptops.com I have recently installed openSuse on several Dell notebooks -- an Inspiron 1501, a 1505, and a Precision M90. They all work well with openSuse 10.2/10.3 out of the box. The Precision M90 is "older" hardware and worked particularly well: http://www.kenjennings.cc/m90/M90_openSuse_10_2.html -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Yup. The details are on the web page. The install saw the wifi hardware and went through the config. I only had to enter the SSID and key and it worked. I didn't have to rebuild any modules. (And this is a 64-bit install, too). The Wifi is started as eth1 on demand by KNetwork Manager when I log in. The wired ethernet eth0 overrides it when it is plugged in, because they are using the same route to the internet through the router. Both interface addresses/routes are configured by the router with DHCP. It was so simple it was scary.
