SuSE Linux is a linux distribution by the German firm SuSE (have a look at www.suse.com) wich is also available in English. It is very easy to install, a bootable CD with self installer. If you get the commercial version, I am told that it features a very good handbook and 60 days of installation support. The latest version I think is 5.2. I got the GSL version from www.lsl.com. S.u.S.E. is the abbreviation for: Gesellschaft fur Software-und Systementwicklung mbH ^ ^ ^ ^ which could be translated as 'Development of Software and Systems.' After the name there is mbh or Gmbh. GmbH is the German counterpart of Ltd. Why is it "mbH" after the full name but "GmbH" after the abbreviation? mbH - mit beschraenkter Haftung = with limited liability and the "G" stands for Gesellschaft = society (literally translated), Company. I'm open to correction on all of this. :>) Dave - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e
