Hello every body
I am using suse 64bit v 11.1 on AMD phenom and gigabyte mb
I am facing some problems with the realtek sound system and upon live update; I am facing problems in booting in graphic mode
I was planing to switch to ubunto, but I am now wondering about this CLD or CLDX
any advice?
thanks

Sound should work if you have support in kernel. You need to try.
CLD and CLDX are a LiveDVD. You can get iso and test them.

I'm sure you are like it.

I may follow your advice to try the live cd before installation
