 Buyer Beware October 8, 2004

Looks to me that what these people sell is the download version of SuSE, and not the retail package version. The retail version includes additional commercial versions of, for example, OCR software, and more .. I think using the retail package graphics is at least misleading if not unethical !

 tired of windows? April 16, 2004
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Lets start this out by saying I am 15, and I'm not a computer whiz..so I was worried about getting this program. But it was sooo easy to install! My computer is very old, so the second delays between downloading it turned into hours..but I let it run overnight, and it downloaded fine. There's so many programs to choose from when downloading, and its really easy to delete and install more programs from the cd. It's really great that linux can run on your computer along with windows because for some reason I can't get my scanner to run under linux..but everything else works perfectly!
 SuSE 8.2: Good Product, Lousy Support December 28, 2003
I liked the SuSE 8.2 Linux, and I still use it until I upgrade to 9.0. However, I was very disappointed with their support. I was given conflicting answers, one person told me that they would give me special attention (because of a screw up on their end, and then I was given the third degree when I asked for the help. I hope that Novell will help them with Support.
Buy or download December 20, 2003
The reason you buy it is so as to where you don't have to spend countless hours downloading it, and then burning it. Plus, you get a manual when you buy it. Your money is for the distrobution of it, i.e. the cost of the box, shipping, printing, cds...etc....If there even is a profit, its to small to care. Download or buy, its your money for the same product. Same support online.
Really Great Linux Distribution October 18, 2003
Let me say that even though I only gave it 4 stars I think this is a top notch linux distribution. I run a Intel Pentium P4 2ghz processor with 512 ram; a GeForce 2 video card with 64 megs; 40 gig e/ide hard drive; sound blaster live; netware ethernet card; a ASUS P4S533-X Motherboard...I think that's all the pertinant information.This distro loaded up great. It found all my hardware without any problems. The software management tool, YaST, is brilliant! It also doubles for online updates. It is very easy to use and very user friendly. YaST was excellent for adding or removing anything software related with ALOT of ease. Some people have complained that the "loader" screen hides all the process loads at start up, but I think this is a very weak complaint. First you can hit the tab key if you want to watch every process load at start up. Second, yes I watch the processes load sometimes...but not every single time I turn the machine on! That's coffee pouring time! So hit tab if you want to watch the processes load, but if you don't watch then who cares what it shows. That's just my opinion. The only thing I did not like was the display. Like a previous reviewer, my screen would be occasionally "moved" when I logged in. Easy to change back, but it takes a few minutes...and it is just plain annoying! Also the screen, on my machine at least, didn't look "clean". I don't know how to describe it, but it was as though it was ever so slightly out of focus. Nothing I did would fix it. I can't say whether it was my machine, operator error, or what. Everything together though it is definately one of the best distros I've tried to date.
