I didn't think to try on my EEE PC, so at least now I can use it
wherever I am. I just bought an HP 2133 pre-loaded with SuSE 10. So far
I am not impressed with SuSE's registration process or package
management. It will be dual booting Fedora or Ubuntu by the end of
today! I'll try the dongle on that too.
