I was firing up Suse Linux 9.1 Professional when My Motherboard crapped out, so that machine is sitting on the patio workbench while I think about what to do.

Installed in less than an hour complete with browser.....
I was impressed....

Got to figure out how to get Firefox installed on when the machine is running again!



It was going to be my main machine, AMD64 with a gig of fast memory, but it has just given me headaches .

Must be "bad computer Karma" month- the Mobo on my backup PC died about 3 weeks ago- power supply zapped it.

Oddly enough, I tried SUSE's 9.1 home version, but the bleeding thing wouldn't log on to the internet, or let me log in to the system at startup ( naturally, being the one who set it up, I was administrator ) so I finally RMA'd it back to them. Ironically, their LiveCD that boots off the CD worked fine, so I suspect a defective disc.

Anyway, I am a-setting here looking at those CD's I burned and wondering "how badly do I want to learn yet another OS?"
