thanks oldcpu and innovamanager.

will check out hte links oldcpu posted up.

going to install opensuse 11 tomorrow afternoon as it is late now, 11pm here.

my home laptop is running xp at the moment so will use that to go online and post how it goes and if there are any problems if my wireless does not work.

the home laptop is kept as xp as so far it has not had any problems, probably cos i stopped updating it a while ago and the screen is bust, so i have attached a external monitor. so the laptop acts as a home desktop now.
