5.0 out of 5 stars SUSE 9.3 on a ThinkPad R50, June 11, 2005

By	Lawrence F. Povirk (Richmond, Virginia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I installed SUSE on an IBM ThinkPad R50 and overall I'm pretty satisfied. It has excellent support for laptop functions like power management, Trackpoint mouse, and suspend-to-disk, all of which worked immediately without tweaking. Of course, GIMP and OpenOffice are great. The manuals (>900 pages) are pretty good as manuals go. I did have a few install glitches but they were resolved with a little effort. E-mail support was competent and knowledgeable with next-day response time. A few helpful hints: SUSE prefers GNOME but if you choose KDE, be sure to install kppp and use that, not kinternet for dialup. Also be sure to check that display resolution is recognized properly during installation and if not adjust it accordingly.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Distro, May 15, 2005

By	Sparky (USA) - See all my reviews

I find this version to be user friendly
looks like good competition for windows
Suse 9.3 Linux was very easy to install didn't take long at all
was so nice to only have to put in one dvd to install all
the software bundled on the dvd is excellent
the packages are all current with lots of applications browsers, email clients etc to choose
and with wine can run alot of windows programs if need to
Novell also provides great tech support on the install if troubles
