I've been playing around with SuSe 9.1 from the Live CD in my free time. It easily boots, and runs. My wireless connection was easily found, and I enjoyed that a multi-server chat client was already installed. I had a problem with the display, but I have found a forum for my computer so all should be well with that.
My next project coming up: deciding how to divvy up this hard drive of mine.
Thanks for all the help everyone!
