[clug] Laptop probs

[Benedict and Trisha Wyss]

Fred,

I just bought an HP Pavilion DV6000 and installed Ubuntu 6.06 without a 
hitch and to date have not run into trouble. I had about 240mb worth of 
downloads during update though.

My 2 cents worth is to install Ubuntu and check it out then move to SuSE.

Cheers,

Ben
