RE: [SuSE Linux] CD
Mike, I too would recommend you buy it. The manual alone is worth the price. This has to be the first distribution I've done a clean build with and gone straight through with the installation finishing with dial-on-demand for ppp working first time (with Freeserve in the UK). Kind Regards, Mike.

Yea, but I've never used it before... I want to "try before you buy" .... if I like this one, I'll prolly buy the next one... (or this one if I find I need CD's), but I can't buy a distribution that I haven't used.....
Mike,
I'd spring for the $40 or so and buy SuSE's dist. It's kind of like voluntary taxation. The package is one of the best investments I've made in my

I began with Tranameritech CDs and not printed manual. I moved to Debian, then SuSE and RedHat. I like Debian very much, but SuSE became my primary distribution for several reasons. 1. IMHO YaST works very well and SuSE, including X installed without much fuss(that does not mean I did not struggle with configuring such things as PPP :-)) 2. Many great apps like Blender. 3. The manual is the most extensive of the Linux distributions I've seen, including more than just a passing mention of system security. SuSE has, to the best of my knowledge given much support to what I would call rather esoteric hardware. Regards, Bob Pugh Mike ML wrote:
