RE: Which Linux??

Ok since this topic is still going around, I will add my 0.02c in, I have OpenSuse 10.3 running here and other than making sure I had a couple of the prereq packages installed, 10.2 XE and 11 Enterprise installed without a problem.
Running on a Dell D820 latitude if it's of any use.

Cheers

Peter
