Rosen writes "I recently installed the open source software (OSS) version of SUSE Linux 10.0 on my Gateway M520CS laptop computer, and would like to share my impressions of the product so far. This is the third distribution that has been installed on this laptop, with Mandrake Linux 10.1 and Fedora Core 4 both preceding SUSE 10.0. SUSE 10.0 outshines both of the other distributions so far." The laptop on which these distributions were installed is a Gateway M520CS with an Intel Celeron processor, 512 MB of RAM, a 60 GB hard drive and a combo DVD/CD-RW optical drive. For communication, it has a built-in Broadcom 802.11g wireless LAN controller as well as a 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet port and a modem. Sound and video are provided by the 852GME Intel chipset. The 15-inch LCD display maxes out at 1024x768. Finally, it includes a 2-button touchpad, four USB ports and an IEEE1394 port. Both Mandrake Linux 10.1 and Fedora Core 4 installed fine on this machine, but both had problems. Let's delve into these problems a bit before we look at whether SUSE did any better.
