Anyone using or had experience with the Gateway M520 laptop? How is it with SuSE and does it behave well with a dual boot setup?
you might try one of the livecd disks and boot it, just to see if it recognizes everything. I added a dual boot setup to my Dell XPS laptop without a problem. brand new out of the box I had to update drivers to get the wi-fi working with my netgear router.

Thanks Paul, Tried the 9.2 Live CD with good success. I am not downloading the 10.0 Live DVD to try also, which I believe will do well. I was interested in hearing owner's experiences, if there are any out there. I've not had many dealings with newer laptops and don't yet have all the specs on this one. I'm wanting to maybe switch the owner of this unit over to Linux if possible, but I didn't want any surprises for her or me in setting it up. :o) Overall, it seems that SuSE plays well with most laptops, new & old, but I also have read several problems here from laptop users/owners. regards, Lee
