Hmmmm. So... people who like SuSE like SuSE. ;-) I tried SuSE seven point mumble about a year ago, and I was impressed by the feeling of polish and integration it gave me. The printed documentation was very good, and the package selection (several CDs worth) extensive. My dislikes were mainly in the area of the configuration automation subsystem they use: YaST, the single monolithic rc.config file for the entire system, and an impression that it was all-or-nothing. There are reasons to like that approach, but personally, I do not. (Then again, I haven't really been happy with a distribution since Red Hat 6.2. Maybe I'm just a Luddite.) IMO, SuSE is definitely worth checking out. I've been considering picking up the 8.0 boxed set myself. > I have mixed feelings about Mandrake.

Strictly a personal feeling. But in the "glitter" category, it is definitely a leader. :-) -- Ben Scott <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | The opinions expressed in this message are those of the author and do not | | necessarily represent the views or policy of any other person, entity or | | organization.
