What is this blog about?

I finally decided to start posting information about my experience running OpenSuse on a Sony Vaio PCG-V505DP machine. I have been with SuSE since early days (I started with SuSE 6, or maybe even 5 - don't remember by now), and it has been the most stable distribution that I knew of that usually supported my hardware where others didn't. Sadly, it's no longer true - since 10.0, every new version seems to come up with additional problems, and there are more problems with each version, at least on the laptops I use. So I decided to start this, to have a permanent record of problems and solutions.
