 Good Linux Package in a box. December 22, 2009

I don't use SUSE as my Linux distribution any more, but the package was nicely compiled and worked well.
 good at first March 7, 2006

I spent the $40 about 2 years ago to get this because I am new to Linux and I needed to dual-boot my machine (run both windows and Linux) and I didn't know how to do that. This install CD will setup your hard-drive, do the partitioning and the dual boot for you, so you don't have to be advanced. So that was great. I am still running this version, but the shell is missing so many typically 'traditional' Linux utilities that I now need, such as LaTeX compilation or a FORTRAN compiler. So, I looked into upgrading it, but you cannot upgrade. You can upgrade to v9.1, but the current version is 10 and there is no upgrade to v10, which is now supported by Novell. So I might spend the $60 now to get the Novell Suse Linux, but I'm not sure yet. I really need those compilers. So buyer beware.

Multi loading OS's on a computer isn't something people do every day. It's not hard but it's easy to mess up if you are NOT paying attention and have little experience with that sort of thing. If you are installing JUST SuSE on your computer then it works great. Sure I've had computers in which "oddball" hardware doesn't work on it. SuSE on the other hand should be considered bleeding edge on the hardware support side. They are into it all and do a great job. More bang for the buck with RedHat? What does that mean? I get an extra rpm or two? Listen. Look at what they both provide and make a decision. Anything someone else has you can get for SuSE. I was surprised with YaST. I loaded some stuff that was missing from the distro. It selected a site in Chicago by default. Took only a few moments with my broadband connection (Cable 3 Mb pipe). Fedora RC2 was crap. Better than RC1 but still crap. Debian and Slackware are pretty good. For a desktop install I would recommend you wait for SuSE 9.1 actually. It comes out this month I understand (I've already downloaded the source rpms. It's HOT)
Good Distro May 4, 2004

Good Linux Distro.
If you are buying because people says Windows is unstable and unsecure, you're doomed. If you've dreamed having Unix machine home, might better to go with Debian, Gentoo, or BSDs. If you like computers, building PCs, and thought "I gotta be little more cool", then this is for you.
Unlike company says, Linux is not replacement for Windows. If something doesn't work under Windows, it's Microsoft's fault! If something broke under Linux, it's your fault. If you are genius, there's a source code so that you can fix it. If you are normal people, there's lots of community in web that some kind genius spend some time with normal people giving out some help. If you are rich, buy yearly support from consultants or company and pay more than for Windows.
Linux = advanced. Novice computer users should stick to Win April 15, 2004

Don't listen to these "horror stories!" Suse specifically instructs users to back up their computers before installing a new operating system when partitioning different OSs. Yes, 9 is designed to work with newer users, but Linux itself is designed for advanced users. For those of you that don't like Suse, stay away from Linux, cause this is as easy as it gets. If you don't like Microsoft, get a Mac.
