    Hi all,

    I am considering to buy the SONY VAIOFZ11Z T7300 notebook, and I want to also install Suse Linux on it. Are there any know problems, especially with the graphics card?

    I know that probably this has been discussed somewhere in this forum, but I was not able to find this information.

    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Elias

    Seeing how OpenSUSE10.3 is just released (therefore with new version of packages), I think it will work fine. I am using Arch Linux on FZ, and almost everything works fine now (even volume keys and webcam, although they required some works). There also were reports of 10.3Beta working fine on other Santa Rosa laptops.
