SuSE is not a "failed experiment;" on the contrary, it is a very
successful and generally very stable distribution. SuSE is much larger
in Europe than any other Linux distribution there is, and for you to
speculate on its successes and failures based on your limited
experience, together with the rather sudden increase in the noise on
this list, does no one a greater disservice than yourself. You have had
the mischance of getting involved with it at a single point in its
history, one which unfortunately involves a broken version. Have you
tried installed 10.0 on your laptop? If not, then perhaps you should do
so -- or wait until 10.2 hits RC (or at least beta) stage.
As for the rest....

Perhaps no one has any experience with your particular model. Equally
possible, the general attitude of the person asking the question has a
rather large bearing on whether or not that person's specific questions
will go unanswered. In your case, it is indeed possible that you have
not received any responses simply because no one *wants* to respond,
based on your contributions to other threads. All that being said, if
you would send me an identical model to yours, I will be pleased to
attempt to install 10.1 on it -- having no need or desire to possess a
laptop, I will even send it back to you when I am done, provided of
course that you pre-pay the return postage.

I would like to say that this needs no comment, because it does.
When I said "sudden increase in noise" above, I was of course being
polite to those who are posting the noise (all of whom will, of course,
deny having done such a thing, all the while pointing all their fingers
at someone else). There has been less garbage posted in the endless
debate over whether or not Pluto is a planet, than has been posted of
late on this list, ranging from the endless Saga of the Misplaced
Unsubscribe Message to the raging Battle of the Top Post to just about
anything else anyone could conceivably imagine (including the recent,
and completely inane, War of the Header Hacker). I wholly expect some
morning to wake up and find my mail full of a raging debate on whether a
boiled egg should be cracked at the big end or the little.
There is, of course, nothing anyone can do or say that will end it all.
All that can be done is to try, however hard it might be, to wade
through the piles of bovine effluent, looking for the little pieces of
buckwheat that are surely there.
