I'd agree that SuSE is one of the better commercial options. If you are installing office wide and need something well supported, this is a great option. Novell really do seem to be going in the right direction here. I have 4 people in my office working productively on SuSE desktops, and all coming from low computer literacy backgrounds. SuSE is one of the first distros to get to the stage where I would let people loose on it and expect to get productive work "just done". > Who knows?

What you should hope for is greater standards compliance across all the Linux families and desktop types... -- Rishi Viner -------------- Australia _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
