After getting my first computer, I was really unhappy with the result of my first attempt to install Linux.
And after some retries with this piece of hardware I just wanted to share you what I came through:
First thing I have to do is to thank Wakady for his comment since without it I would have stayed for long trying with FreeBSD.
Now let's give you some real stuff.
I installed openSUSE 10.2, FreeBSD 6.2 -RELEASE and Ubunutu 6.10 (Edgy Eft) on this machine and came with different results and I think they deserve sharing. You will find the first two attempts in older posts so I will go directly to the third one:

After the big failure I had with installing openSUSE on my dear laptop. I deceided to abandon the whole Linux and use BSD.
Installing FreeBSD was fun to watch, since I didn't do that myself.
Anyways FreeBSD booted fine, things were going a little bit slow but they went.
Then came the disaster: Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG isn't yet supported by the latest FreeBSD which is 6.2 right now.
