Fun with Linux

Installing Linux on a machine at work - I had been using Mandrake since I like its look and feel. Novell recently purchased SuSE and since our backbone is Novell, I decided to install SuSE 9.0 on this machine (DELL PowerEdge 2500) So far so good - the user interface allows for deep tweaking in the setup parameters without getting in 'yo face about all of the details, you can zoom into a section, tweak and zoom back out to the overall 'friendly' defaults. The hardware detection seems to work well - picked up the RAID card and USB drives. So far, so good... I'll update this over the next day or so. Posted by DaveH at February 3, 2004 2:05 PM
