When I first looked into Linux I found the likes of Debian n Co impenetrable for a lowly Windows 95 user. One of the things that really impressed me about SuSE was the documentation, they seemed to be actually interested in Linux being easy to use rather than the exclusive tool of nerds. I thought the books provided with it were very well written and explained a lot. Especially as it was in the days of dial up and online knowledge wasn't as easy to come by. These days I only really scan them as I can do with out but recently I've had 3 people I know who've only ever used Windows want to try Linux and to me openSUSE is the logical choice because of those manuals (and YaST is teh awesome). Anyone know when the boxed version of 10.2 is due out, not seen any dates suggested? Matthew -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
