Hi,
the Suse 9.1 personal is a "live" cd image, I tried one the other day, 
and it froze on boot anyway.
I got a knoppix 3.4 live cd instead, and that has an experimental 2.6 
kernel, which seems to work fine with my Sony Vaio laptop. It is 
possible to do a hard drive install of the knoppix live cd but it's 
"not supported"
