Software

  • openSUSE 10.3 DVD

Installation

I have to admit that we were unable to even turn it on. No power supply had been shipped with the laptop. It was also impossible to open the DVD drive manually (without damaging it).

Conclusion

Our mission has failed, we were unable to install openSUSE 10.3 on it. Nevertheless it's a very nice piece of hardware (consider the weight!) and we enjoyed working with it.
