Can you honestly tell me if Suse is OK for a complete newbie?
The installation is the part that scares me the most, I've tried hard to check all my stuff against hardware compatibility lists, Suse page for this seems to bugger up a lot, while trying to check burners it would suddenly start showing printers or sound cards. Some opinions or help as to ease of [stuff deleted] Maureen.
Hi Maureen I just went through the first newbie install a couple of months ago and I can say that SuSE has by and large, been great. Here is a link to a journal item I wrote about my experience: http://slashdot.org/~adoll/journal/43584 I chose SuSE because of the free automated update facility (I can't possibly track all the updates that are out there) and because it is a nice blend of desktop and server without being too much server (Red Hat?) or too much desktop (Win98). And I do dual-boot Linux with Win98. Hope this helps. -AD -- ------------------------------------- Alex Doll alex.doll@agdconsulting.ca IT Consulting - Mineral Process Engineer http://www.agdconsulting.ca ----------------------------------------
