I record the first time (nobody helped, Linux was a savvy thing) i saw "login:" "And now, what...??" A friend could fortunately help, and then su, Xconfigurator, etc. (Thanks to him :-) I mean, all efforts and ideas to let newbies enter the opensuse OS in a smooth way are welcome. Even if they'll have to do an extra effort, if coming from MS world, like running command more frequently, etc. (BTW, houghi, the boolean "or" was a diplomatic "and-and" ;-) And people love clean layouts, too. weeew!
