Mepis promised good hardware support, so I thought that might be good for my sony laptop which still isn’t working fully. Sadly Mepis did not even understand it was running on a sony. Overall pretty crap.

OpenSuse was even more interesting. The live CD didn’t boot. It seems there are problems with IDE DVD players. Come on! It does look nice in Virtual Box, but I don’t want to install it without seeing if it supports my hardware. Overall disappointing.

Swiftfox is great! It’s a version of Firefox that is compiler for your processor. It’s faster then Firefox and I have the feeling that it’s more stable.

Small stuff:

Small things can make life more beautiful :-)
