I am not trying to start a flame war or anything. I just want to know if other people had the same experience with SuSE8.1 as I did.
hi! and nope , geneally it was a piece of cake nd worked right out of hte box.. except for the YOU problem that was fixed w/ some command or other that made it suddenly realise there really was somehting to do ... go get list , show list , items chosen , go get the rpms and install .. It's as easy as it can ever be , I suspect. No problems on the install at all.... The updated nvidea drivers I had already downloaded and had them on a backup cd .. so that went okay... just the YOU not getting any updates when one would attempt it right afte the install ... was teh only problme I had. As for hardware , it found and setup everything I had, by it's correct brand name yet!.. Well , except it doesn't see my Zaurus cradle w/ theZ plugged in .. but it does see the card reader out of the box and w/o a reboot!! wow! And yeah , it looks great! </caveat> However, in our SOHO , I have not upgraded hubby's PC as he has a solid 8.0 seatup and doesn't have any serious need for the updated USB stuff. His Codeweavers Office product regognized the card reader ... so he has that capability .. once codeweavers gets a few things sorted , he's going to lose his win2000 pro partition. .... And then there were none <G> Once that is done it will require a reinstll of linux at that time in order to reclaim the windows partition.. ANd it will be either 8.0 or 8.1 depending on how the fixes are once we get to the "del c:" IF 8.1 which is being patched at what seems like super human speed , has the litle problems fixored, he upgrades, if not, he stays w/ 8.0 until hardware or software just wond run on it any more -- j afterthought: I love cats...they taste just like chicken.
