Despite what I can read here and it has been very informative (I thank you all) opensuse is not ready for the laptop market. It may work, but that's not good enough.
If you're talking openSUSE 11.1 and older.. I would agree with you.. getting everything to work on a laptop was a bit of a hassle to say the least... but, so far, my experiences with 11.2 are excellent. So far, every computer I've installed it on has just worked (as long as there wasn't an ATI card in the machine, but that's a different issue). On previous releases, getting WiFi to work was a challenge at best... on 11.2, it's just worked... granted, I do take the time when I'm shopping to buy a laptop with a known working WiFi card... I don't just buy random hardware and expect it to work.. that's no different than say.. buying a Mac to run OSX, or being selective about hardware that works with Windows 7 (if you have older hardware, you can pretty much forget about it working with Windows 7 in my experience, just as you will have issues with random unsupported hardware in Linux).
