We already introduced Dell's new laptop wonder, the Z600, to you earlier this week. What makes this laptop special is that it contains a small ARM motherboard which runs a special version of openSUSE Linux, allowing for instant access to basic functionality like checking email, browsing the web, and playing multimedia files. What's news, at least for OSNews, is that research from Dell has shown that people spent 70% of their time in the Linux environment.

it is what it is, ok? Now then, what is it?
There had to be at least that one comment again that had to make known that you are not happy with Suse. I guess "you will not buy it" if you cannot do any of these things, right?
"allowing for instant access to basic functionality like checking email, browsing the web, and playing multimedia files"
People who want a quick start software for this purpose exactly DO NOT want any of the things you want, and most certailny they do not want to replace Suse all together for starters. It is not meaningful to ask whether you can install Xubuntu pre-Alpha on your new Linux-powered Panasonic toaster either only because it happens to be powered by Linux. It is also not meaningful to further ask whether you could then move on and do a backup of your Linux-cluster with it because it is not made for this. Get on with it
