    I am looking to purchase LG (LM & LS) series Notebook computers and was wondering if I could get a heads up on
    whether anyone has experience running SUSE Linux or Mandriva Linux on the LG brand of notebooks.

    Hardest part is getting ethernet, sound and wireless working.
    Everything else will work fine.
