Default Re: 11.2 on netbook

I've taken the plunge and I'm happy to report that 11.2 RC2 works beautifully with my Eee 900. No problems with screen resolution or wireless networking, all the function keys appear to work - including Fn-F2 for wireless on/off (you need to right-click on the wireless icon afterwards and re-enable the particular connection you were using so it's a two-step process but that's no great hardship).

Edit: even suspend/resume works!

opensuse 11.2 on a Packard Bell netbook (clone of acer d250 with an atom 280 processor and broadcom wireless).

Everything works great, Good to see a usable kde distro for netbooks (mandriva far to slow). I decided to give it a go after the fiasco with mobile broadband in ubuntu 9.10. Just remember to install broadcom_wl to enable the wireless, then reboot, setup your wireless wep/wpa and reboot again. All works. I'm now one happy bunny. I left suse after problems with mounting drives in 11.0 I'm glad to see it's back and greatly improved.
