Review By root, 08/19/2005
Suse/Novell would like for you to believe it works out of the box. It does not!
I have run many Linux distributions since 1995 and Suse/Novell is just another distro and still not quite ready for the desktop.
I currently run multi-boot systems which most distros handle very well. Not Suse! The install is only geared for existing windows or a blank hard drive. In order to load Suse, I had to unload three other systems (the Suse install actually removed them itself without letting me know).
After install I had to tweek the video and network card, and the sound system just barely works with only a few of the `installed' packages. Fortunately I know how to adjust scripts to `make things work' but sound is still an issue. Some things do work nicely but for the cost of Suse I suggest going with Fedora download and save your money, you will be much happier. While reloading Fedora and my favorite: slackware, Suse did not handle the partition re-size very well but the system recovery worked. I did have to re-tweek the Suse system again after recovery.
I had my hopes up for Suse/Novell because Novell had such a nice OS but I am still disappointed.
The books that are included with Suse are useless, even for a newbe. No much real useful information contained within the books and the books are not included in an electronic form.
