This is a question I've been meaning to ask for a while. When I first got my T23 Think[ad a couple of months ago I tried a Suse 8.1 Live Evaluation disk in it and what happened when it went past the opening screen was really scary.

The machine totally locked up with a blank screen, the green leds were flashing, the fan came on and the hot air was really hot and smelled of hot electronics... the thing was totally locked up and not even the power button would do anything. I really thought it was totally fried (lm_sensors was the first thing I thought of) but thankfully after a few minutes the fan stopped and I was able to power it up again and take the CD out.

Since then I have installed mandrake 9.1 with no problems (except the minor glitch of getting a video driver) and has run perfectly ever since. Knoppix no probelms either (and it has the correct video driver too).

But it has put me right off Suse which I would actully like to try out. Has anyone else seen this and/or does anyone have any comments?
