Take it from the man, Steven Vaughan, whose conclusion is that Dell's laptops with GNU/Linux preloaded may be a better deal to many who consider SUSE on Lenovo Thinkpads.

But then Ohlhorst found some flies in the soup. First, one of the boot options was to bring SLED up with the Xen virtualization program. Whoops. It didn't work.

I'm not sure what Lenovo thought it was doing by making that a boot option, anyway. I mean, if you want to use virtualization, you're going to need to get in there and install another operating system and set its system settings first. Why not leave setting up Xen until it's time to set up Xen, or, as I'd be more likely to do, install and set up VirtualBox?

Steven and Frank did not bash SUSE. They made an observation and the fault might be with Lenovo, not Novell. ⬆
