Here's the quote:
In tests of Office Suite 99 on a 200MHz Pentium-based desktop PC, PC Week Labs found installation of the operating system to be considerably harder than installation of Red Hat Linux 5.2 (see review). Hardware auto-detection was practically nonexistent, forcing us to configure hardware components individually.
I would tend to agree. I recently installed both SuSE 5.3 and RH 5.2, both twice on 4 different machines, and the RH installation procedure does seem slightly more smooth, straightforward and efficient. Neither had any problems with hardware detection though but this is very much machine/hardware dependent. I know somebody who cannot get a SymBios/NCR 53C810 working under SuSE 5.3 and has problems with a standard Ethernet card too. ------------------------------------- Alexander Volovics Dept of Methodology & Statistics Maastricht University, Maastricht, NL ------------------------------------- - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
