I have recently installed a copy of SUSE Linux 9.3 Professional on my Acer Travelmate 6600 laptop, dual booting it with XP. Each OS has 20GB of disk space to play with, which seems adequate.
I originally installed 9.2, but then found 9.3 had just been released, so updated. The only area that required any help with the initial configuration was the Wireless Networking... The Centrino chipset was recognised, but did not want to connect. I endede up disabling the fixed LAN ethernet card, and removing all security from the link. Once it connected the first time, it was happy to connect afterwards with the security re-enabled. Upgrading to 9.3 simply preserved all the settings - and it just worked!
The main reason to install Linux is to learn, and at the moment all I can seem to do is use multiple browsers to view the web, it comes with 4 graphical browsers and 1 text only browser as standard.
