	Yes, opensuse has been real good at these things. Printer and scanner
working aren't such small things  to me when I have to take time to try
and make it work. The other night when my step daughter had to print a
report; when I found out about it, try to email it (aol is way to slow
to send from and she doesn't want or use a client), burn it to disk,
take it to my box and then print it. Not something I want to do at
2200 ;-)

	lol, yes now that I've figured out and gotten used to using
repositories! maemo.org is using the same thing on most of the programs
listed. It's great!

	I still don't have a Nvidia card so I can't comment. Sounds great
though. Things like this really put the finishing touches on a distro!
