Well, it appears I won't try openSUSE after all. I burned, and verified, another 64 bit DVD. Booted it with and without "nomodeset". No joy. Still gets to the splash screen and sits there. Downloaded and burned/verified the 32 bit version. Same thing. Maybe another time.
While I'm all in favour of debugging new releases, I wonder why first-timers go for 12.0
Because on any distro's website, nowhere will you find it written that the ".0" version is not a good version number to try! Good grief! If that's so true, then Linux should never have gotten out the door and into the mainstream. I don't care *what* version number one has, they *all* will be buggy no matter what hardware one uses/has. Microcrap is no better now than when it was 3.1, yet there's morons still using it and buying it as first- time users, yet it's the world leader (unfortunately) in OS's. -- There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American.
