I'm fairly new to this whole Linux thing but I've used both Ultimate Edition 2.1 (ubuntu) and SuSE 11.1 on my laptop(Pentium M @ 1.5GHz) for a few months sucessfully. I've tried using both 64-bit and 32-bit versions on my desktop with no success. The 64 Bit versions of SuSE and UE either didn't make it past final installation or hang at initial boot. I accquired the 32-bit versions which install and run Live with no issues but both will drop USB connectivity with my mouse (some cheap Microsoft 3 button and my Logitech G7 which has its own issues with connectivity) running Live or installed after about a couple minutes...?
I've tried every other port on my system but it doesn't solve anything. I may have a BIOS update to do so I'm gonna look into that and maybe remove my OC after posting this and try it out.
