Hi, 
Today I installed openSUSE on my SD Card. It works good! Thank you for your work!

But: I have had some problems.

XFCE will not start automatically. I have no idea why. 
I Pluged the serial cable in. I entered 'startx' because I thought the XServer isn't running.
Now the XServer runs and XFCE started correctly. 

I saw the onscreen Keyboard only one time. I looks great!! I think after improve the keyboard it will be the best onscreen keyboard. 

I have noticed that the WLAN device isn't working (or I'm just too stupid to make it work.)
I think it is because of the missing patches.

But In summary, I can say it's very greatful!  Thank you very much!

Regards 
Christoph Bänsch
