Wind's Suse Linux Implementation

In my own experience, internet connectivity has been an ongoing matter of contention in SuSe Linux over the years. Disappointing when most other versions of Linux find no difficulty in establishing a simple internet connection, whether wired or wireless. Pity that the MSI Wind chose to use SuSe without providing a simple tool to configure the built in wireless connection for those that don't have the technical skills/knowledge to find and to wade through Suse's own configuration tools.

I believe Suse Linux is one of the least attractive options for those considering Linux for the first time.

In this new and growing market, It is important that prospective new users are not put off Linux and, in particular, there is no reason why a custom item such as the Linux offering of the MSI Wind should not work 'straight out of the box', after all MSI Wind is a relatively high end netbbook.

As with many other posters on ZDNet, I have settled on Ubuntu but do, of course, change the desktop background to an image of my own choosing, either from my own photgraphs or from the many images available on the Internet.
