I've not used this myself, but if you have a cd burner you should check out http://www.suse.de/en/private/download/suse_linux/index.html and look at the section Live-Eval. Find a suitable Canadian mirror to download the image from to avoid a long wait. You should be able to run a 'live' install from CD without affecting your hard disk, and get confirmation of whether your hardware is going to work.
That's interesting to know. I did that with Knoppix and found it a wonderful peek into Linux. I didn't realise I could do it with SUSE. I'm off to try it now, thanks very much. Maureen.
