My son-in-law gave my wife a Mac OSX 17" laptop.

I finally got it set upfor her with wireless, internet access, mail with Thunderbird, etc. but she still only knows the SuSE way.
Sooo....the question is can I install a SuSE onto that machine? or better yet network the laptop to my/her desktop 11.0 via something like ssh?
Depending on how old the laptop is, then.. yes as long as it's the Intel based hardware. You use Bootcamp: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boot_Camp_%28software%29 and install whatever other OSes you want.
More info about installing openSUSE is on the Wiki here: http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_on_a_Mac

I have to admit that this is an educational experience to me. But then, every day of life one learns something new.... On this basis I would never even consider buying an Apple product. Microsoft?
