I too started with Slackware, used Caldera for a while, tried debian, and have used SuSE for almost 4 years, (looks at shelf with old CDs) since 6.2. A recently had to rebuild my system after a hard drive failure. This system has been a dual boot so I left space (a FAT32 partition) for a Win 98 SE install but haven't done that yet. The SuSE 8.2 setup detected the FAT32 partition, assumed a Windows install and added a boot option to Grub. In the time I've used SuSE I've installed it on a bunch of systems with almost no issues. This includes several laptops. Recently I purchase a TV Tuner/Capture card and the system detected the card and it setup very easily. As usual I'll be at the installfest for a while on Saturday if you decide to go SuSE. ;-) -- Jack Ungerleider jack at jacku.com _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
