SuSE, openSUSE 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.

ACPI get fixed soon? Linux isn't ready for the laptop.

Ha! I've been waiting for a long time for acpi to work properly. I reckon that when ACPI works properly there will be some other standard for laptops. I waited so long I gave up and returned to windows xp. I want to be able to hibernate and suspend on the road and I haven't seen linux do that consistently.

So much talk about the desktop... linux needs to focus on the laptop...
