I have now installed Suse 9.2, coutesy of Volker, on my Sony TR5 Lappie and so far I am VERY impressed. It 'just works' and detected and configured almost everything perfectly out of the box (except widescreen x which requires a BIOS patch - no biggie).
WOW is this better than Drake. More stable, configs don't break things, full ACPI support. I think I have found my new fav distro for now!!
I'll let you all know how I get on...
Man do I miss URPMI tho - YAST aint even close...back to RPM management from the command line in many instances. Small price to pay really...
SUSE seems to be a very solid distro so far with not even an app lockup to speak of yet, even with some pretty heavy tinkering. Sony hardware is always pretty anti Linux but I LOVE the TR5 for its size and features, so now that I can get almost everything working with it under Linux, I am well pleased to say the least. If you are looking for a very good, RPM based, desktop/KDE oriented distro, give SUSE a try, I think you may like it.
Cheers,
Jason
