[ltp] 64-bit Suse 11.2 on T60, 2.33ghz w/4gb RAM

[Karsten König]

Heya,

somehow your reply broke the thread, maybe Evolution is to blame, try KMail 
;-) Or full KDE right away

Anyways, yes it's the 64bit release, the first I am actually using full time 
and not only checking out if it works good =)
Dragging around the 32bit libs and loading them only for skype is somewhat 
annoying though, skype should be taken out of the room and shot for this.

The reviews for 11.2 seem also very mixed, does your T60 have intel on board 
or radeon?


Regards,
Karsten
