I am a former mtop for macbook owner who is looking for a reliable laptop for school, due to the fact that I knocked my macbook off of my desk rendering it uncahrgeable. Does open suse suppor the hardware on the Satellite Pro L300-EZ1501?
Maybe you want to check following sites:
HKL/Laptop/Toshiba - openSUSE (german)
HCL/Laptops/Toshiba - openSUSE (english)
- it makes sense to visit both pages, because they feature different models.
If you want to have a notebook with good opensuse support out of the box, you could also try to find some other models in the database…
i would buy a lenovo thinkpad - again. 
Thanks salOUt:):
I checked the laptop compatibility list and it is compatible, however I am going to go with the Lenovo 3000 N500 due to its rich set of features.
