 Rating:  - WARNING - Not for novices...I was a reasonably happy SUSE 8.0 user, YOU did a nice job (when it was able to connect...) of downloading and updating the kernel for the NVIDIA drivers... Hearing that SUSE will no longer support the NVIDIA kernel driver with 8.2, I thought it would be time to upgrade... WRONG!! The installation was a compete mess... Upgrade turned into "wipe-out-everything-and-start-all-over" and THAT didn't even work... Wasted about 3 days on this... and another half a day getting "back" to where I was on ... Read More Rating: - Complete rubbish. Save your time and your money.After attempting to install SuSE Linux 8.1 Personal Edition, I was trying to determine what is more worthless: this distribution of Linux or all those AOL CDs I keep getting in the mail. It's a close call, but it's one you're going to have to make too if you buy this software. Red Hat 9.0 recognizes my display, video card, sound card, modem, printer and all other hardware and installs them correctly. SuSE Linux 8.1 Personal Edition only identifies my video card and even that is being generous because ... Read More Rating:  - It Works, but go for 8.2I use this. I first installed 8.0. That was a disappointment. It ran very slowly on my system--AMD_K62@350MHz, 256M SDRAM. By contrast, the Win98 I'd switched from seemed lightning-quick. 8.1 runs in-your-face faster, and is acceptable. While Windows-like in many ways, there is a learning curve. I do not regret the switch. I found to my surprise that I've not missed a single MS app, but use OpenOffice 1.0.2 for nearly everything. (OpenOffice 1.0.1 is too slow and too buggy on Linux, though acceptable ... Read More Rating: - The best OS in the worldThis is one of the best OS i never worked with. One thing that amazed me is the fact that it did recogize all my hardwares. I didn't even need to search for the drivers for my sound card and cable modem. If you're looking for a fast secure OS. You are in the right place. Rating: - think twice and consider other optionsI upgraded to SuSE 8.1 from SuSE 7.3. My impression from this release is: 1. It is still Linux. It is still more stable, more secure and much more affordable than MS Windows. From the other hand, as all Linux systems, there is a big lack of drivers. We have to keep our Windows 2000 just in order to work with a scanners and to have a photo printing quality. 2. SuSE 8.1 is a regression from SuSE 7.3. SuSE definitely goes to the Windows direction: much more blue color on a screen and much more ... Read More |
