SUSE Linux

I suppose I understand some of the frustration people use to Windows feel when moving to Linux, after all, old habits really do die hard. But if you don't try new things you never know when you might be missing out on something terrific.

If you haven't explored FireFox within SuSE Professional or Novell Linux Desktop you're missing out on a quick way to get some cool Linux solutions from Novell.

To access the solutions open FireFox, click on SUSE LINUX in the Bookmarks Toolbar, a menu of links will drop down, select SUSE LINUX Professional Cool Solutions, or simply click on the link I just provided.

Whenever I install a new linux box I inevitably end up customizing my desktop. Though the stock Gnome and KDE desktops are pretty cool, I always have an itch to change it to something that is more functional and looks better.

The first convenience I do is dragging and dropping icons from the KDE/Gnome menu to the taskbar - this provides one click access to software I commonly use.

One of the things on my wishlist was S.u.S.E. 9.2 Professional. It was, of course, in the very last box I opened.

My initial impression was that it was very impressive. The installation looks much more attractive than previous versions. The Professional edition comes with 2 DVD's (1 is source), and 5 CD's.
