Well, you're well aware of OpenSUSE and I suppose you may have a spare computer handy. Why not just give it a try as a desktop OS. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.
Hi James, Hi everyone. I use desktop computers at work so I know they work on a network. The three laptops I tried: eeeps, acer one and hp pavillion would not connect to Internet with opensuse even after several hours downloading with a wired connection and booting from the 11.2 kde live usb memory stick. Pull the wire and the wireless is useless unless you have several more hours to search how to do it. I can get a wired connection to a Desktop computer on the network in a few minutes by setting the squid port on the client using Yast. I suppose that's what prevents many from using it at home. But I've not given up yet. L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
