I'm Planning to download Open SUSE 11 (live CD) however the computer I am using is fairly new and I want to know if it will support (Fully) my system I've ran Knoppix But the 3d Acceleration didn't work so that's why I want to know
It's onbord GRafics its a NVIDIA GeForce 6100 nforce 405 i think it has 128 MB video ram Dedicated but Because its running vista scream it can go up to 805 MB video ram

Sure it will, your graphics card won't have full support out of the box, but you just need to add the Nvidea Repo and install the driver for it. I would suggest using the DVD over the live CD, due to more packages on the DVD than the OSS Cd, and and the DVD has KDE3, KDE4, Gnome, and Minimum X, and no graphic system over the 100% KDE4 live CD.

Note: the spelling is "openSUSE", the original developing company is still called SuSE

OK I did originally how u usually spell it (Sorry about the space) which is open SuSe (if you look at How I usually do it don't know when i started but i think i always did that neutral ) Firefox complained in its glorious spell checker so i followed its suggestion (see computers can really control humans) P.S if you type or copy

about:robots

into Firefox 3 You'll learn more about what i mean

That would explain the robot that you saw when you installed a development build if Firefox, there use to be one

about:kitchensink

Personally if it were me, I'd download the latest driver from Nvidia's site after you get your system up and running, it installs via a shell script.

Its My dads system I was gona use it on and he'd be pissed if I installed linux (Ungreatful) and I was using a crappy intenet connection so I probably wouldn't need the drivers for it any way because downloading Is so slow
