Your welcome. =)
I am familiar with the "hard way" and the "easy way" Did the "hard way' back in 10.2 and it was a PITA everytime the kernel was upgraded. Ijust want to keep it simple.
Well, honestly, coming from Slackware as I do (I started with OpenSUSE just a week ago), for me that hard way is the easy way, I don't know, re-installing after certain updates just makes sense for me, I guess I need to learn the suse way now. ;)
Juan, Oh, I used to compile all kinds of garbage back in the RedHat days. Got tired of it. Curious, What brings you to SuSE from Slack? Hang around here. Sounds like you may be a pretty valuable guy.

Two weeks ago I thought I'd use my older machine (a Pentium III - 192Mb RAM) to try some other distros besides Slackware. For some reason, maybe because they're among the most popular, I decided the first try would be for Debian and OpenSUSE. Didn't really like Debian, or at least didn't find it that different from Slack, at least from an installer point of view (actually, Slack is a little bit more straight forward in my opinion), but OpenSUSE was really a big change, so I started playing around with it and within a day, I installed three times on the same partition, since for some reason for me, installing a distro is a way to get to know it better. And I really liked it so much, I started researching and found the strong community effort behind and around it, second big difference from Slackware, that has a closed team of devs. So, three days later I migrated my main hardware to OpenSUSE (AMD Athlon 64 x2 +3800 - 1Gb RAM - GeForce 7900 GT). Slackware is a great distro and I'm not leaving it completly, since I'm planning to mount a server based on it, plus, it was my first real Linux experience, but I feel like openSUSE gives me a more complete desktop experience, or put some other way, is closer to what I'm looking for at the moment.
Hang around here. Sounds like you may be a pretty valuable guy.
Thanks a lot for those words, I really appreciate it. I'll be definitelly hanging around here. =) On Thu, Jul 30, 2009 at 10:52 PM, Bob S<911@sanctum.com> wrote:
