Well, although I got J to work with OpenSUSE on my Lenovo T61 ... I had to give up on it after reinstalling the OS 3 times and switched to the 64bit Ubuntu 9. I should have done that in the first place instead of wasting 2 days.
Here are some of the major problems which made me back away from OpenSUSE. 1. NVIDIA driver installation - your system will refuse to boot 2. NTFS write mode support - you really have to jump through hoops just to write to NTFS partitions 3. Support for Wireless USB network - just doesn't work. 4. Support for 3G Network - intermittent When I switch to Ubuntu this morining ... everything worked without even opening the console. Just relied on wizards for the configuration and no more problems. r/Alex ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [[email protected]] On Behalf Of bill lam [[email protected]] Sent: Monday, September 28, 2009 10:24 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Jgeneral] J64 on OpenSUSE 11.1 64bit OS (WAS: RE: [Jbeta] 602 ebeta available for linux32 and linux64) nvidia driver is troublesome enough and I gave up.
