What do you think of the Suse distro? Was it easy to install, did it detect your hardware?
Suse is the one from Novell isn't it? I've been thinking of trying it, but they don't have the time bombed one that I could find to download like they had a while ago.
If they do, I'd appreciate a link.

That's because Novell is losing more money every quarter on their Linux adventure. According to CEO Jack Messman they may have to reconsider the whole thing.

You can download the "Novell Linux Desktop," which actually uses the Suse Linux Enterprise v9 codebase (rather than Suse Linux 9.x), and I believe that the only part of it that's "timebombed" is the auto-update

It is one of the best, in my opinion. I have tried several over the past couple of years. The BEST install package, and I always get the Pro package so that I have both 32 and 64 versions available depending on what machine I want to work with. The most recent versions, 9.2 and 9.3 do a good job of updating during install process, and any time later on.

Yes, Novell bought SuSE. Good move on their part I think. Try: http://www.novell.com/linux/suse/

I think you can get eval downloads there.

Cheers --- :-)
