SuSE, openSUSE If there are two things in this apartment that I don't like, that would first be the dog upstairs which barks at 5 AM almost every morning, and the fact that UPS almost never deliver things on our door. They never bother to check if we are in. The SuSE people were very kind to send us the Professional version of SuSE 8.1, but unfortunately, I received it 10 days later after it arrived in the apartment's complex. But now we got it here, we gave it a spin for almost a week, and here is what we think about it.

RE: Really new features?

> But... hwow about the really new features compared to 8.0?

I do not know, as I never used 8.0. There is a web page on SuSE.com explaining what is new.

> Did you try out WLAN support?

No, I used my desktop, not a laptop. I do not have a good laptop to make such tests on (it is an old AMD K6-300 with only 64 MB RAM).

> I can't seem to get my Linksys PCMCIA card to work on my SuSE 8.0. How about APM support on my laptop, no luck either on 8.0.

No idea... sorry.

> I'm running a reiserfs because without the APM it's easy to kill the machine with a single button. Are the other options like JFS, XFS, ext3 available at installation time?

To be honest, I can't remember... I was pretty pissed on the SWAP issue not working correctly, that I just took the default filesystem when doing the partitioning. ;)

Sorry I could not be more helpful regarding laptops.
