Yes, having something like that surely makes sense. A page explaining software, operating systems, Free Software, linux, openSUSE... Probably can be largely copy-pasted (with attribution) from wikipedia. In the interest of "DO, not TALK" I created an Etherpad page to write a "I am new to Linux" page on the openSUSE homepage. I have created a skeleton and copy-pasted info from wikipedia and the FSF page. Someone needs to check if we can copy-paste from the FSF site ;-) http://ietherpad.com/HGnVPSDjFD And help is welcome! > * if it's easy (it looks like), have some openSUSE version usable for > them.
