Oh Well..........

I'm a complete Linux n00b - I played around with Mandrake/RedHat a few years back, but never really got the point.

I recently installed OpenSUSE on my laptop - the install was as easy as a windows install, and setting up my wifi card was also pretty painless. As far as an end user in concerned, SUSE is a pretty good distro - No fuss getting it running, and it does exactly what 99% of end users want - a no-fuss stable OS that doesn't require a degree in astro-physics to get running.

That said, I am a Netware system admin, and last week I installed Vista at home - Maybe I've been compromised................
