It is not that I don't want to do my own research, but I should get the time for that too (yes it is my headache). But I would try to manage that (***time***).
At last, I would just want to say the following which is true for me:
"I used to think (earlier, before this post) that Linux is just a great type of Windows (yes, I am Windows migrant). And yes it ready to use with all GUIs (like openSUSE) and here you get everything working without doing your own research and though Linux is understood to be used better as command line but now a days GUI options are so great that everything - each and every thing you can do using GUI. So, if you are in some other job which is not at all related with computers, you can install the openSUSE, and use it.
Now I think (after this post): Yes Linux is very good but one needs one's own efforts to work and use it easily. If you are from other job, try to spend the time and learn on the Linux box. It needs initiatives and then you can use it very easily."
Yeah, I may be wrong in thinking but I have liked openSUSE - best KDE with best GUI but perhaps I would require time to go through the basics.
You seem to be forgetting that the people who answer questions on mailing lists and in forums volunteer their time. Take a few minutes and read the excellent tutorial written by Eric Raymond entitled "How to ask questions the smart way", located at http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html You will go much further if you do your homework ahead of time. We're not here to read the manual to you, nor are we here to use Google for you. BTW, another place where you will find many beginners using openSUSE is the openSUSE forums at http://forums.opensuse.org. The same caveats apply there, though - don't expect the volunteers to do your homework for you. If something can be found in the documentation or by searching the existing messages (or in the forums, the 'stickies' at the top of some of the forums), you'll receive a somewhat similar reaction to what you received on the mailing list.
