Subject: [hllug] SUSE Linux opinion
| I note that Don did not have a SUSE distro loaded.
Actually, OpenSUSE was one of the distros that didn't "just work", I didn't
mention it in my post here, because I was referring to the distros that just
worked (excepting only Ubuntu) but I did mention it in my blog at
lockergnome.

| This is strictly my own personal opinion. Unless you have a specific
| reason to use Suse, I would dump it without a second thought. I would
| much rather play radio, than play Linux. I would want a distro that just
| works, not one that I have to spend endless hours trying to find fixes
| for problems that shouldn't even exist. Linux has progressed entirely
| too far in this day and age for a distro to have the problems you are
| seeing with what were problems years ago, that in other distros have
| been addressed and fixed. I also wouldn't waste the price of a CD on
| Xandros.
|
| IIRC you said you were fairly new to Linux, if so I would recommend
| either Kubuntu or either Debian stable/testing.
|
| Your choice, but I'm running RTTY with fldigi at the moment, while you
| are still trying to get Suse to work.
|
| Just my thoughts.....73

You can tell Ed, for me, that I think he's onto something. :)
