I have a friend that has a Dell notebook that is a Windows holdout. However, he keeps seeing my setup at home and listening to me tout SuSE and he sent me a question recently that I simply can't answer. Will it work on his machine? This is the information he sent me:
The info on this machine is: Dell Inspiron 1521 - AMD Turion X2 1.6 Ghz processor, 2 Gb RAM, 160 Gb HD, Sigma Tel high def audio codec, ATI Radeon X1270 video, Broadcomm wireless 802.11b/g. The SUSE 10.2 Live dvd had everything working except the sound and the wireless. I was wondering if anyone in the SUSE forums had this configuration and had everything working under 10.2? Any information about how well 10.2 in particular performs on the above hardware ESPECIALLY multimedia. He listens to MP3's and watches *.avi and DVDs and even plugs his stereo into the line out jack so he can listen to his CD collections he has captured on disk. He currently uses Windows and if 10.2 works well with his specific hardware, I believe he will now join the ranks of EX Windows. I would also be interested in how 10.3 B3 and later work though from testing on my home machines (not Dell), I am not sure it is quite ready for prime time. It has 'eaten' my drives, hidden my cursor, blanked my sound, and while I'm willing to test and try to debug 10.3, I'm not sure it is quite ready for someone so currently Windows centric but 'looking'.
