[Cialug] Distro choice

[Tim Wilson]

For what it's worth, my old laptop was an Omnibook 6100.  I think the distro
I was running was OpenSuse 10.1, and it worked fine.  When I had it booted
into Windows, I had flashblock on Firefox because otherwise web browsing was
pretty slow.  I don't recall if I had flash enabled on the Linux side or
not.  My guess is, I did not.
