I installed 10.3 64-bit on the new Dell a few days ago after first looking at Vista as it was already installed on it. Yes, I complained about having to pay for it but that didn't do any good. openSUSE 64-bit does run much faster than Vista....there's NO doubt about that!! I ordered it with an HD glossy monitor....very nice, sharp, and 3D is supported on the Intel chipset. I have wifi working with the Intel 3945 card that I ordered with it......sees hidden access points! However, it's evident that there are some things that MUST be improved in the Linux software for those of us who have to access hidden access points. First, KNetworkmanager is useless if the access point is hidden, so you have to use Yast to setup each time you switch to a different access point. Kwifimanager might work, except it doesn't support WAP and without WAP there's no AES. This is ignorant, at best. wifi isn't all that secure anyway, but at least support the best tools available! The only pieces of hardware that aren't seen by the system is the 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller from the Marvell Technology Group Ltd., and the built-in webcam. I don't know if there's any support for the Marvell chipset or not, but if there isn't, there had better be soon, as it's a gig. type NIC that's in very wide use! The webcam isn't that important right now, but I'd still like to be able to set it up for use. Fred -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
