Meh I tried 10.2 it looks nice, but it couldnt recognize my graphics card or wlan card, it kept displaying everything at 16bit color when it can use 32 bit color, and it was at the resolution of 800x600 when i usually have it at 1280x800, I looked for drivers from nvidia, but their linux driver for my card model kept saying it couldnt find a compatible card, yet i use the same driver but for windows in XP.....wlan was the mager part though, I had to get everything from another PC and tranfer with a USB thumb drive, nothing worked, so i decided meh I'll stick with windows XP/vista
My uncle uses a old toshiba tecra and it's hardware was all recognized by suse 10.2, but my newer HP laptop, only touchpad and sound controls were recognized...

What wlan card you running. Because if it's not 802.11b then many linux distro's don't like it.

I'm running in my newly found debian box. It's pretty sweet! I'm coming off of a knoppix build tho.. so it's a little different to me.
