Thats what i want to do…its not the rigtht place here, when i spam this thread!
Sorry guys! 
How does the MSI Wind either the U90 or U100 or other models work with openSUSE 11.0 or 11.1? I understand MSI supply SLED drivers on their web site, anyone use these netbooks ? will openSUSE run on them ok? Thank you 
I have a Asus EEEPC 900 with Celeron processor and 16GB SSD disk that worked out of the box with OpenSUSE 11.1,
It’s a little bit slow with KDE, I even tried 4,2 but runs great with XFCE.
I think my SSD is about as slow as they get…
It’s perfect for browsing the web and watch films on youtube.
I have a MSI Wind U100 Netbook and nearly everything works out-of-the-box with 11.1. Webcam, bluetooth, wlan, display brightness, s2ram, s2disk works.
Only some of the extra keys needed setkeycode and xmodmap.

For those people with Netbooks and openSUSE (or any Linux for that matter) installed, how is the performance? Did you do any tweaks that made a difference?
I understand it isn’t going to compete with the latest super-computer from IBM or one of the many dual/quad-core computers out there, but that’s not what they are really meant for.
Hello
I run openSUSE 11.1-KDE3.5.10 on a Medion Akoya E1210 -MD97160, a MSI Wind cloon. All important elements works oke. (see URL
HCL/Laptops/Medion - openSUSE) I experience currently some problems like:
- Very short display distortions (2) during booting, just after KDE-Login screen.
- Problem with Konqueror configuration screens, not able to save configuration, since apply/save buttons are not reachable.
- Similar problems with some other configuration screens.

I have an HP pavillion, with a zm84 ultra proccessor, It comes with a little physical touch bar that works really nice in Windows HomePre, but the most surprising thing I found after installing the newest SuSE 11.1 is that it even has drivers for thata! HOW amazing is that, I mean, its not that it picked up the wireless driver from the very first day, to my touchscreen driver on the physical touch bar. It’s amazing. I personally think SuSE is much better than any User Friendly Linux Distro.
Thanks mate 
I wish they would come pre-installed with openSUSE, that would be sweet as
It is not a gaming machine but for, office, internet, music and videos it is enough power…and i use it only with a well working vesa driver…when the my 3d drivers will come out it will work excellent…
The question is for what you need it…i mean that you will be happy with a 1.6cpu and 2GB ram…
The best performance netbook is at the moment the:
Asus N10J-HV035E, 10" Netbook, Atom N270, 160GB
Intel Atom Diamondville N270 (1.6GHz), FSB 533, 512KB L2 Cache
Intel PM945
10.2" TFT
WSVGA (1024 x 600)
2048MB DDR2, 667MHz
160GB S-ATA
nVidia GeForce 9300 GS 256MB (shared)
Wireless LAN 802.11b/g/n, 10/100 Mbit/s LAN, Bluetooth
Sound: on board
3x USB2.0, VGA, HDMI, 1x Line In (Mikrofon in), 1x Line Out, RJ-45
MMC, SD, sDHC
ExpressGate
1.6kg
But at the moment i would wait for the new via nano or the nvidia chip…the performance i a lot better than intels…
here a little preview what the future will be possible with the new via nano:

Everything works great out of the box. Intel GM45 chipset, graphics are snappy. Sound, wireless, wired networking all work perfectly. Even suspend to ram works out of the box!!
Google earth doesn’t work. Guess I’ll have to junk the box;).
Very happy with it.

Just installed opensuse 11.1 (with kde 4.2) on my new Acer Aspire one 110L.
Everything is fine except suspend to ram that halts the system and wifi leds (wifi is working only the leds are not working).
Any suggestions?
Just installed opensuse 11.1 on top of the default sled 10 on my msi wind u100, and everything is smooth.
Just have to check the webcam and wireless yet, but there are guides to fix these too
As far as I can tell, since kernel version 2.6.27 the MSI Wind series is all well supported (if not quite plug and play). It also is a good performer, and ranks so closely to my previous favorite netbook (Samsung NC10, though it’s linux compatibility is a bit “iffy”), so it’s probably going to be my pick. The Acer Aspire One is a close second; also has good linux compatibility.
On my Asus EEEPC 701 4G 512 GB RAM every bit of hardware worked out of the box with 11.1. Wireless, webcam, everything. Tweaks: added SuSeee repository for the fan control package and the on screen display for my hotkeys. That’s it, I love 11.1 on my baby and I am very happy!
Cheers!
the default 11.1 kernel does not like the webcam in the lenovo ideapad S10.
yast sees it as a lenovoeasycam, but it does not actually work.
known problem of the 2.6.27 kernel,dunno if it has been fixed since in suse.
Getting an MSI Wind U100. Will post back later.
I have opensuse 11.1 on my eeepc 1000. root on 8g ssd and home on the 32g ssd no swap * wifi works bluetooth needed to be upgraded to bluez3 via webpin to work. webcam works with defalt driver. custom compiled kernal helped with lag. I’m confused if the atom processor is single or duel core [konsole says one, system info. says two?] this computer works great with kde 3.5.10*
I should add that on my 701 “Black Beast” EEEPC that the 4G SSD drive is formatted as the root directory with the ext3 file system (extra writes to the solid state hard drive, I know but I am willing to risk it for data integrity) and all personal files on the removeable 4 gig SD card. No swap.
