If you've never used SuSE, then you might count on forty-five minutes to get it all sorted. Pretty much everything you could ever hope to find on the Web for Linux is there." "SuSE Firewall-2 is simplified, allowing you to configure iptables for your internal interface (e.g., eth0) and your external interface (e.g., ppp0) individually (though not separately, if you see what I mean). It's a good deal more convenient than before, and can be set up in about thirty seconds." "As for the UI, most users will be pleasantly surprised. Not only is KDE-3.0 a lot more attractive than its predecessors, it's more functional and logical. And it's stable -- more so than any earlier version, so far as I can tell. Like SuSE, it seems to defy the x.0 conventional wisdom." "And while the disappearance of the very useful RC-Config Editor module in YaST2 smacks of a bit of Microsoft-esque 'you'd better not monkey with this black magic' paternalism, and while there are imperfections in a few of the packages, overall I'd have to say that 8.0 is a solid step forward. I'll be keeping it, that's for sure." Hmmm... Is the rc-config module really gone in Yast2 for 8.0? I'm still on 7.3, and found that to be a very convenient module. But overall, a positive review for 8.0! :-) Joe --------------------------------------------------- The surgeon general has determined that using Microsoft products may be hazardous to your wallet.
