I’ve been meaning to do this for a while… I have an Eee PC, but want to go ahead and put openSUSE on it — which isn’t quite as straightforward as putting openSUSE on a standard laptop or PC.

Lucky for me, Sonja Krause-Harder took the time to figure things out and document the experience of putting openSUSE on the Eee PC. Now all I need to do is follow the instructions and slap openSUSE on the machine. I’ll give a report on Monday about it, and the openSUSE on Eee PC experience, after I’ve had a chance to do the installation.

Also, I’d love to hear from openSUSE users who have installed openSUSE on “unusual” hardware — especially if you have some documentation for other users to follow.

I will love to heard your experince, Zonker. I planned to buy a n ASUS Eee PC for my beloved wife and son next month and it should be nice to make them as new OpenSUSE community fans :-).

Did you ever heard about OpenSUSE on mobile devices ? Last week I get a mobile devices with Windows Mobile included and I want to replace it with OpenSUSE.
