I've put SuSE 7.0 into my notebook and it's fine.  Reiser FS install. 
Very nice.  Same thing on my new internet box has gone a bit wrong but
it is very old hardware and I expected it to mess up.

Can't see anything wrong with SuSE 7.0 at all from the point of view
of the software.  They even got the gcc compiler to work.  Something
that other Linux distributors can't do - not mentioning any names of
course.  I can even get Tkrat 2.0 to work and send mail with
sendmail.  Something that I couldn't do because of a bug in sendmail
in the 6.4 version.

Thanks
