SuSE is for me...

Like many others out there, I got on the Linux bandwagon to expand my knowledge and skills in the area of alternative OSes. I have tried 7 different flavors of Linux, and have landed in SuSEville. SuSE for me, is easier to use, comes with better documentation (some flavors come with virtually no documentation). But most of all, it conquers Windows 2000 Server in almost all respects. Squid (the equivalent of Proxy Server) is relatively easy to set up, and comes for free with the distribution. This will save the saavy administrator over $1000.00. Samba (which allows connectivity to Windows boxes) is also included and is easier than ever to set up with SWAT (html based configuration).

To top this all off, I have a powerhouse SuSE server, serving 7 workstations with Squid, File and Print services, and IP routing running on a Pentium 75, with 64 meg of RAM with a 2.0 Gig hard drive. This is not possible with Microsoft 2000. Linux is stable and runs well on older, slower hardware. This saves a lot of money. 7.3 also incorporates Soft-RAID technology (new in Windows 2000). This allows you to run fault tolerance in Linux without the expensive supporting hardware.

I've worked with Red Hat, Debian, Caldera, Mandrake and a few others. But since SuSE came out with version 7.1 and later, I've had few problems (most from lack of knowledge) and SuSE has been stable enough for me to recommend it to friends and customers. To top it all off, I love the games included with this version of my favorite Linux!

SuSE has had the best distribution for a long, long time.

I have used Linux personally, and more recently, professionally since it was started. SuSE Linux has always been very consistent in how things are done within the system, like keeping libraries and system paths the same. Other, hat wearing distributions, seem to change, and force change, on a whim. SuSE makes it easy to integrate Linux into your environment, and stay up to date... both with super easy tools, but also with consistency, attention to detail and a lizard... apparently.

The best Linux distribution I have used !!

I have been using Suse since the 6.x versions. Earlier I have Suse 7.2 on my desktop. I moved to Suse 7.3 about a week back. I did a fresh install and not an upgarde as I had heard that upgrade option had cuases some problems.

The installation was real smooth. If you are not comfortable with manually creating partitions, Suse 7.3 can do it for you. However I choose to create my own partitions. On the root partition I used reiser file system. After installation, Suse 7.3 was able to detect all my hardware, except my modem. Post install configuration was the easiest ever. Sometime back I had nightmares with red hat while configuring video and sound. But with suse, life can be real easy. Moreover I used the DVD for installation, no more idling around the PC to change CDs.

I installed the professional version of Suse 7.3. With all the applications, Mozilla, netscape, Star office, Xmms, Kdevelop, Gvim ..., I had all the application I ever use. I no longer need to boot to Windows to browse the web. I also got Opera and Yahoo messeger dowloaded later. This distribution has almost everything you'd require in a desktop OS. Even changing your network settings does not require a reboot, unlike some widely used OSes.

If you are looking for a great look and feel, fast, stable , easy and feature rich OS for your desktop Suse 7.3 is the one. Even if you want to keep Windows , lilo can take care of it.

My System config: Windows 98 + suse 7.3 dual boot, Amd Athlon 1.1GHz, 320M Ram, 20G HDD, Nvidia TNT 64 video, Creative Sound Blaster Live, with 5.1 speakers, creative Wingman , Logitech Navigator keyboard and logitech optical mouse, DVD and CD-RW drives.

SuSe is getting better and better all the time!!!

If you are a newbie to Linux or a old seasoned pro then SuSe 7.3 will offer a lot to both of you. I been running SuSe on my system since 7.1 and I must say that these Germans really know how to engineer a good and stable Linux disrto. The install is easy as pie and the online update feature is as easy to use as M$'s update feature of course minus all the constant reboots. I would reccommend this distro to anyone looking for a alternative Nicro$oft's O$ and to people who have never tried a Linux OS before.

Here are my system specs:

Asus A7M & AMD 1.2 ghz CPU
512 DDR-RAM
LeadTek Geforce 2 GTS Pro
SoundBlaster Live X-Gamer ( with LiveDrive )
3COM Etherlink XL C905C-TX NIC
13.6gb Quantium FireBall XL HardDrive
60gb IBM DeskStar GXP HardDrive

P.S. I gave it a 4 because nothing in this world is perfect, but if Suse keeps working on their OS like they are now then it will eventually be as close to perfect as a OS can get.
