On October 22, 2004, Novell released SUSE Linux Professional 9.2 (abbreviated as SLP9.2 henceforth) targeted at the home user and Linux enthusiast crowd. Since I am already using SUSE 9.1 for my daily work on my IBM laptop, I was quite eager to check out 9.2. SLP9.1 is already a very polished Linux distribution, with tons of software ready to go. So here's a SuSE user's review of 9.2 after several weeks using the new version. Update: Also see some 9.2 screenshots with KDE and Gnome.

>>I installed Suse 9.2 and it fired my laptop. After installing it I left my computer on and went to bed. When I woke the morning my laptop was dead. I suspect the lack of support for ACPI and APM caused my computer to run too hot.
I learned my lesson. I will never install Linux or BSD or any other *nix on a laptop. NEVER! It simply isn't ready for general laptop use. Plus wireless support is terrible. On Windows it's point-click-and-done!
Hold up. I do not know about Suse. I have never used. But with Fedora and Gentoo, my Presario 2100 is the best. Who ever knows about this laptop, knows how noisy and hot it is under windows. With Gentoo I do not have any complains, in fact that is the main reason for me to use Linux. So maybe is your laptop, which you didnt specify what it was. So do not generalize only because you had a bad expirience. If I do the same, I will say that windows is not ready for laptops either.
