Hey, my RH Enterprise 3.3 is from Oct 2003!
I have Suse 8.2, it is from 2003, but its documentation barely mentions usb,
and says nothing at all about being suitable for a laptop. I hate to sit 
there
for an hour or so repartitioning and what not and then be told no go.

But thanks for the tip about Suse 9.2 ( MicroCenter or Fry?)
I may try that.

Answer to Dow Hurst: yes, it is a Sony Viao PCG-F630, thanks.
