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 This product is out of date.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.
Rating: - 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.

Rating: - not bad but not perfect either
I am mostly pleased with this software, but I can't unequivocably recommend it, either. Broken out of the box is the software updater.

Don't expect to always get meaningful help from the free Novell support site if something complicated goes wrong. The ... Read More
Rating: - Possiably a more secure system than other Linux's
I wiped a hard drive of everything and then loaded SUSE Linux. If you decide to use this product, you need to understand it is associated with Novell, and you MUST be careful with your security processes while you set it up. Once you understand the multi-tier system in their home base, you can do pretty nice things.
So if you are Novell proficient in a large office with security needs, this is a good choice. If you are not a larger office, and not proficient in Novell, look at Ubuntu ... Read More
Rating: - "Free" Software - You get what you pay for!!
I tried out SUSE Linux 10.1 because the neighborhood computer geek insisted it was better than Windows. Well I had some trouble installing it, but even once it was installed I hated it. Linux for "normal people" is inferior in almost every way to Windows. Let me explain.
There is a completely free product called "OpenOffice" for Linux that aims to replace Microsoft Office. OpenOffice fails miserably at almost everything. It's missing a bunch of advanced features that I use every day on Excel, ... Read More
