Does anyone here use openSUSE on just a single computer? Lynn
I'm pretty sure that's not what you intended to ask, hence all the smart ass replies.
Care to try again?
No that's fine. Let them be smart, They've all helped me enough in the past and they all know what I want to ask. I've never seen a laptop or anyones computer at home running Linux. But you've just enlightened me. Thanks. L x
Lynn, I have NO trace of Windoze on any computer I own. I have 4 computers that I use regularly. I have set up several friends with SuSE on their single computer and she used to use XP and is adamant about NOT going back to any version of Doze. She recently brought her laptop to me and asked me to put SuSE on that machine also as she was going on a trip and she wanted something RELIABLE to have on her laptop like the home system. Her husband, a died in the woods XP fanatic finally came to me and said after seeing his wife's machine never fail and his machine always having trouble, "could you install Linux on my machine too after we get back from our vacation?". I have distributed numerous copies of PCLinuxOS CD's because it is so 'Radically Simple' and just works, and everyone I've given a copy to has switched to that distro. I would give SuSE to them IF it 'just worked', but it doesn't, unfortunately, but once they gain experience with Linux, it is a short trip to upgrade to SuSE. What I like about SuSE is Yast and the LVM/RAID functions. If PCLinuxOS had that from the get-go, it's reliability out of the box makes it a solid distro but SuSE isn't as stable as it once was and you have to be more of an expert in the innards of Linux in order to make it work unlike PCLinuxOS which just does, albeit, in a more limited way because the tools provided are more primitive. But for first timers, it is a very good exposure to Linux. Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
