Has anybody used suse 10.0 or 10.1 on a newer laptop with this technology? How is linux in general handling this?

I have a Acer Aspire 5670. On SuSE 10.0 my network card didn't work when I had ACPI enabled, so I had to run it without ACPI (no power management etc.). On 10.1, everything works fine, even the wireless. That is once I managed to get past the post installation blues concerning the online updates. I'm really impressed now that it works. Power management works well, as well as dynamic cpu frequency scaling.

I wish to thank all for your input. Now I can be sure this technology is ok for linux. Thanks again jozien
