I have a question this group may be able to help me with. I would like a modern laptop that is small and lightweight. I would like to run 64 bit SuSE on this laptop with no configuration problems. I would like it to have wireless capabilities. I currently have a HP pressario zx5000 with AMD Athlon. It works pretty well but is very heavy. The builtin wireless is broadcom and the only drivers are from linuxant at a price. I would like to just put in the DVD and install and have things work without surfing the web to finish up the pieces. Is there a laptop someone could recomend? David
I have the HP zv5000 amd_64. All is great except for the lack of 64 bit broacom drivers. B-) On Monday 09 January 2006 7:42 pm, David wrote:

I have a HP nx6125, Broadcom WLan works with ndiswrapper, the rest is default setup. I still have some minor issues with powersave. Odon On Tue, 2006-01-10 at 08:13 -0700, Brad Bourn wrote:
