Does anyone here use openSUSE on just a single computer? Lynn
I'm pretty sure that's not what you intended to ask, hence all the smart ass replies.
Care to try again?
No that's fine. Let them be smart, They've all helped me enough in the past and they all know what I want to ask. I've never seen a laptop or anyones computer at home running Linux. But you've just enlightened me. Thanks. L x
My computer (the one i am writing this answer from right now) runs linux for 6 years, no dual boot with windows, but a win XP virtual machine for some apps though. At home I have 2 laptops (a 15'4 inches laptop and a 10 inches netbook) who both runs OpenSUSE (11.1 and 11.2). I have also 2 desktops, one has only linux (openSUSE 11.1) and one runs both openSUSE 11.1 and windows XP (wintendo box ;-)). My mother in law (63 btw), uses a computer with openSUSE 11.1 (no MS crap). She had no computer knowledge before, and it helps a lot ! She wasn't corrupted by windows habits and can very easily and simply uses her linux computer to surf the net, send emails and chat with her granddaugthers in the USA using skype (we live in France). On top of that I don't have to bother about viruses or malwares, and her computer is rock solid. (Yeah I know, no operating systems is completely secure, but a linux puter behind a good router is safe enough for any personal use, with windows you must add extra safety). And you know what, she is not the only one, I installed a similar system for the mother of a colleague of mine. Same story, computer rock solid, no maintenance and mine colleague is a Mac-addict and know nothing about PCs (windows or linux). So yes there is people who use linux on a daily basis at home and even people with very limited knowledge with computers. Does it answer your question ? (which I did not understand at a first glance).
