 Rating:  - good at firstI 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 ...

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 ... Read More Rating:  - Good DistroGood Linux Distro. If you are buying because people says Windows is unstable and unsecure, you're doomed.

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. Rating:  - When you're not, you're notOh My Brothers, after trying to download Fedora for a month or so, decided to grab something off the shelf. Thinking Fedora was eventually a go - spent low bucks on SuSE - personal. Same box, same words as PRO, but cheaper. Decided to load over existing RedHat 6.2 - and guess what? IT COULD NOT DETECT A LOGITECH MOUSE and left me with no option but to REBOOT - until I became bored. Should've boughta couple cases of favorite beer instead. Spend NO bucks on SuSE - buy Slackware (same $$) or download from ... Read More |
