True :) In any case, what could really be useful is to get the external=20
monitor/projector working ... Ahhh. If I could get that to work well ;)

I'm saying this because, let's be honest, nobody really works with these=20
gadgets. Generally, you plug them into an external monitor and keyboard and=
=20
work. And that's something that's missing, external monitor/projector doesn=
't=20
work well :(

I don't know, never tried that resolution 0:)

True. Don't get me wrong, I'm not expecting to see support for UMPCs/MIDs o=
n=20
openSUSE 11/SLE 11. I just thought that maybe I could give some ideas for=20
future roadmaps.

I'm not personally worried since I've been using Linux since 1995 and have =
no=20
problems, but maybe for new users ... Since openSUSE is one of the easiest=
=20
distros (most user-friendly), it would be nice to see it on the UMPCs/MIDs =
;)

If you (SUSE/Novell) ever decide to go that way, I can send you the info to=
=20
get openSUSE up and running on the Asus R2Hv.
