A little update about my w7 adventure: it did not run too well in Virtualbox, it "booted" partially and then quited with an error. So it will take a bit more time to get it working, if it keeps failing I will have to google or IXquick a bit about that, or else i could switch to VMware.
@ GM: I have got the 64-bit version openSUSE 11.1 with KDE 4.1 running on my laptop. An adventure with a far more happier end than the previous one, when I tried 11.0 with Gnome from a live cd. The wireless worked out-of-the-box this time, the gpu was (seeming to be) recognised and I was amazed by the customisabillity of the desktop environment. Allright, the learning curve is a bit longer than the one of Ubuntu but that is something I could have been expecting, because Ubuntu is severely aimed at usabillity and openSUSE is aimed at mainly customisabillity and "professionality".
