I love linux,dont get me wrong, Im just not impressed with SuSe personal or SuSe in general really.Ive been a linux user for a LONG time.But I tell you what, Ive seen way too many people jump right in, no research,no checking around, they download SuSe or fedora core or whatever, and first thing they find out is they end up downloading and having to install a whole bunch of software right from the start because frankly, SuSe personal doesnt come with a whole lot.Im not impressed with their website either.My usual recommendation is stick with one of the big 4 distro's, and make a very serious effort to learn what your doing, many of these distro's like SuSe rely on GUI's and scripts for hardware configuration which is fine, but they dont have the range that windows does as far as hardware detection.This usually leads to frustration by the user, then even more frustration when they start asking questions for solutions and someone like me starts spewing command line answers at them, and the reason I do that is, it works, it works in ALL distro's.I cant possibly keep track of the 200+ distro's out there and all the goofy GUI's and hardware detection schemes used,nobody can.A few distro's come with EVERYTHING, and I mean everything, lately the popular flashy one's everyone seems to think is hip or cool dont.To me simplicity,completeness,and lack of bugs is the key, Id rather trade that for a little setup inconvenience anyday, cause sooner or later your going to have to learn commandline skills in linux whether you like it or not,just the nature of the beast.Unfortunatley most folks show up with zero commandline skills cause windows and apple have spent years doing everything they can to hide that control from a user.
