What, please, was the specific model and configuration?
I've got an A25-S207 and installed 9.0 on it. Works like a champ. Now, I haven't had to use the built in modem, but the built-in wireless card works fine. The regular network port also works. The system has a P4 2.66 ghz processor, 512 meg, and some wierd sort of graphics card that I don't remember right now. But SuSE found everything first time, and it hasn't missed a beat. Mike
I know that one chronic weak spot has been internal modems. Does yours have one? I regret buying one without a serial port -- a USB-Serial adapter doesn't always get it done.
As a service to others you may wish to locate the hardware compatiblity lists for Linux, or at least for SuSE 9, and post your positive results.
I know that when I was choosing a laptop I desperately sought accurate reports of 100% compatible laptops from which to choose.

This email is mostly for the record. As someone else mentioned to me with their results being good, I installed SuSE 9.0 on my Toshiba laptop yesterday and everything went fine. I had to change the resolution of the LCD, but other than that, no problem.
Also, the installation was on a Windows XP laptop, so I now have it setup for dual booting. That too doesn't seem to be a problem.
