"Surely that is more of an Apricot failing than a Linux one? It is hard not to accept that a modicum of work at the Apricot end would have resulted in a Linux OS that is just as user friendly as a Windows XP one out of the box. After all, every other netbook manufacturer that I can think of has a Linux version and the Internet is not awash with complaints about installation."

"Of course, choosing SuSE Linux Enterprise Edition might have had something to do with it, what's wrong with a Ubuntu variant or one of the many dumbed-down-distros just crying out for netbook use?"
