Posting from Linux on my laptop! w00t!

Finally after trying to get Mandrake 8.1 and 8.2 to work on my laptop, I switched over to Red Hat 7.2 and it works like a charm.
Mandrake no matter what would not want to work with my sound card in this laptop. However Red Hat detected it just fine. Wierd... cause I had no problems installing Mandrake on my main machine.

guess you can't blame Bill Gates for that!

I've heard that SuSE is really good on laptops.

Maybe the fact that I was using Mandrake was part of my problem. Mandrake absolutely HATES my wireless card. I had to go back to WinXP

SuSE is really good, period. =)

TheGrandCow,

Would you like to have SuSE Pro 7.3 sent to you?

In any case, congratulations on breaking free of Microserf tyranny Just out of curiosity, what desktop environment do you prefer?

I know SuSE is just plain good, what I meant was that it's better on laptops that other distros.

Send me SuSE Pro 7.3? No need. I was a SuSE user for several years before I switched to Debian. Currently, I'm planning to switch to Gentoo.
