Re: [PLUG] distro for laptop?

Same here. RedHat installed and has worked just fine on my Toshiba Tecra 8000.
I've heard a lot of good things about SUSE 7.3 from people on the list and elsewhere.
Are you folks using the Standard or Pro version?
Since SUSE doesn't provide ISOs, I need to know if the Pro version is worth the extra cash.
