Hi, I am using SuSe 9.2 and, even if it is not OS X ^_^ it works well. KDE 3.3 is stable. All my Windows partitions were automatically mounted. Setting up a dual-boot is easy... You just have to install a few packages to support DVD playing and some video cards. DVD support: http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/xine/ MPlayer & codecs: 1 ? lame?: http://packman.links2linux.org/?action=128 2 ? Win32?: http://packman.links2linux.org/?action=046 3 ? Mplayer?: http://packman.links2linux.org/?action=128 4 ? plugin Mozilla?: http://packman.links2linux.org/?action=319 I have also compiled Firefox 1.0, Firestarter, Ghostscript 8.50, Gimp 2.2.1 and Scribus 1.2.1 ? to name a few ? without a single problem. IMHO SuSE 9.2 is the best (i.e. easy and stable) Linux distribution and a very good desktop solution (even if one needs to switch to Windows for gaming or using more programs). #1 OS X, #2 SuSE, #3 Windows :-) Regards, T.L. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
