 Be aware of 5 star reviews, 2004-05-08
Suse linux leaves a lot to be desired, trying to get packages to work, or finding them and installing requires a degree in rocket science. Another problem, no software applications of any use are available, Openoffice just does not cut it and it does not convert files over correctly. Overall not a good time with this, just made me more aware of why MicroSoft Windows it the most popular operating system on earth.

 SUSE 9.1 Pro just ROCKS!, 2004-05-06
This has got to be the best Linux distro ever. For beginners, it is so easy to install and use, while for the intermediate/guru- it allows for tweaking and tuning. This baby comes with so much software, it's simply unbelievable. I love installing from DVD- The new kernel and KDE 3.2 are welcomed advancements. My SUSE 9.1 machine simply flys! OpenOffice 1.1.1 is great too. It does everything the MS Ofice does- it can even read MS Office files. I don't miss the Windoows world one bit... as a matter of fact, now that I don't have to worry about virus attacks or spyware anymore... I can surf the Internet pretty much carefree. It's a wonderful feeling indeed.

 2.6 Kernel!, 2004-05-05
It's easy and solid distro with 2.6 kernel. You can go minimux installation to keep system simple for server, or install Full to play like MS Windows. If you are using linux or want to start to learn linux, this could be good one for you. I liked Gentoo and FreeBSD but takes too much time to maintain. Red Hat puts too much stuff and feels like MS Windows. This one is easier to maintain but still you can see the what's going on.But if you don't care about OS and just want to use PC to improve your life, stick with MS Windows. It's easier and as stable as X Window.
