SUSE Linux 10.1
I thought I'd try out the Linux OS and see how I like it so I got the SUSE distribution through Amazon. The CD looks like somebody just burned it on a home computer, printed and glued the CD label onto the CD. It's not a big deal to me; as long as it works. This is a good OS, especially for the price. I prefer using Windows XP right now. It's just not that easy to find compatible hardware and software for Linux. There's many things you can customize and many packages included. Even though I still prefer using the Windows OS; Linux SUSE is worth checking out.

Out of date
Suse 10.2 has been out for quite some time now. This product is out of date. Amazon has the latest version also but the correct version does not always come up in a search. I bought this, discovered it was an old version, and ended up downloading the latest version for free anyway. Don't waste your money like I did.

Computer Did Not Like It
I have been using Kubuntu for about 3 months. Before that I was running Fedora. I decided for an experiment I would try opensuse. Someone lent me the disk, so this was not a big loss. The installation went smooth. The end of the installation was weird. When it was detecting my hardware, my screen shut off. I had to press the power button on my computer. Then I turned it on again. I chose for it to have a dual boot in Suse and Windows 2000. I first booted in Suse and I logged in for the first time. My screen resolution was low. I adjusted it and it was either to high or too low. I decided to fix it later. I rebooted in Windows and it would not load windows. It said chainloader (hd1,1) +1. I decided to boot back in Suse and try to connect to the Internet to get the instructions for loading Windows in the boot list. There was no connection. I looked at my modem and the Ethernet light was on. I decided to give it a rest and reinstalled Kubuntu. The next day I thought I would give it a second chance. I reloaded Suse. I searched through some Forums and found a person with the same problem. There is a code so you can activate the Windows Partition. I tried the codes and got it to boot in Windows. That was progress. Now I just have to get it on the boot list. I tried and could not figure it out. With all the problems there was No Internet Connection,Resolution too high or low,Windows would not boot. I decided to go back to Kubuntu. My suggestion would be if you plan to use Suse as a replacement for Windows and your machine can handle it. Go for it. But if you use Linux for Basic Web Browsing,games,multimedia. Go with Kubuntu or Ubuntu. I may try Suse 10.0,10.2, or 10.3 out and see if it has the same problems. But for now, I'm sticking with Kubuntu.
