the answers have been excellent and helped a lot. Certainly several people have aired their views. Views which are not available locally to me. Reassurance that I install it and it works would be nice. With wired connections on a network opensuse is fine. It works well and Yast is excellent. What it doesn't do is work on laptops.
Uh, it works very well on our laptops here. We've got three IBM/Lenovo Thinkpads, all have been running openSUSE since 10.2.
I've had no trouble with the HP NC4400 with Intel wireless. Did have some with the Pavilion, but the usb Ethernet adapter worked so I could download the correct driver. SuSE tries to load the r8169, but the r8168 is the one that works. I've had a few dual boot machines since 2000, they are used mostly for my daughters games (purchased at garage sales), and for emergencies when I do not have time to deal with a compatibility issue (usually openOffice/word). -- Collector of vintage computers http://www.ncf.ca/~ba600 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
