I've downloaded the dvd for openSUSE, and burned the image to usb flash stick. I let go of Mageia on the same stick because it wasn't seeing the Qualcomm wireless driver for my lappy (it's on too early of a kernel), and without an inet connection, it would've been virtually impossible (or extremely difficult) to get the driver going.
openSUSE has the 4.1 kernel on Milestone 2, so I'm going to give it a go. I've heard this kernel has fixed the Qualcomm/Realtek issue. We shall see. Hopefully it has a live element to it that I can use to test, but just in case I'm running a thorough scandisk and defrag on my Windows 8.1 first, and giving a partition to split up for openSUSE, for installation of it.
UEFI is turned off completely in BIOS; I'm on 100% Legacy.
I'm ready and done, seems like. Again, we'll see.
If this doesn't work then I'll be putting in an eth cable and go DSL; but I'd rather not. It would be a pain.
I will wait, viking, until I have the viking.iso downloaded so I can seed it. Although it sees you on Deluge, it's not downloading atm.
I'd rather be a free person who fears terrorists, than be a "safe" person who fears the government.
