Interesting review of SUSE 64-bit on a laptop...
Other than the fact that the two things he talks about -broadcom and playing DVD's he has wrong. Well, at least from my point of view. First he states that the ndiswrapper from SUSE doesn't work. Strange, worked just fine for me. And he makes the setup way too hard. Yast will do everything. The second is the dvd playing. Go get xine. Yep, that's true. What he doesn't mention is that in order to play encrypted DVD's with xine, you still need libdvdcss. No way around it.
Other than that it's an OK article.
Funny, I'd been struggling to get my Linksys card working for best part
of a week and had just removed ndiswrapper and wpa_supplicant and
installed from source and it was working at last. Then I read the
article. Now of course Yast wants to reinstall ndiswrapper but it's
working so I'll leave it alone.
Still as a recent defector from Mandrake/Mandriva I'm happy with what
I've seen so far.
