I have found that as I learn more about Linux, I find experts here who know that much more than I. It is certainly this list that keeps me on the S.u.S.E. subscription list. I don't mind paying the money for the distribution. I believe it helps S.u.S.E. and Linux grow. If I remember correctly I have been using Linux for four months. I have an NT boot on this system that I rarely use anymore. When I port Mathematica over, and find an office product that is extensively compatible with M$ Office, I may slick the wasted NT partition and put it to good use.
$35 for 600MB worth of apps and documentation? The best Linux deal I've found. And, unlike Red Hat, they're not releasing the errata, patches and bug fixes the day after they release the distribution. Finally, the pamphlet they include with Red Hat is no match for the SuSE book, even if the English is broken in places. I realize I'm preaching to the choir, but I was a newbie as recently as a few months ago, and after trying two Red Hat distributions before moving to SuSE, I've never needed to call tech support. The NG's, Web sites, and mailing lists covered everything I needed to know. Of course, 900f that info is in glowing detail either in comment lines in the various .rc files, HOWTO's, or man pages.
