      Mmmm.. Perhaps you right... But you know.. SUSE gives you support if you
    pay :( And in the CD I didn't see any images for drivers....anyway the E3500
    doesn't have any floppy drive to put the diskette into.

      I will try tomorrow with Debian. It's a shame.... SUSE is a great distro
    but it's not so "free" :(
