I was going to say. SUSE is a good distro. One of its weaknesses is the Yast program installation tool. It is a bear. Its main strength is it has business tools, (Word processing etc.. they were an Applix partner which I think is very useful in Linux) and is a very well figured out and somewhat bug-free distro. About 2 billion bytes or so. (Maybe larger now.) It tries to introduce useful real world tools to get things working. (Printer installation tc..) Manuals are sparse but useful. Whatever distro you get you need a few (I would say about 4) aftermarket manuals with a book on Linux/Unix commands in general. You also need to acquaint yourself with the LDP and the Howtos on Line. Slack has an official manual. They used to publish a manual with the index pages all wrong! Shameful, as the distro itself has much better standards. I suspect MS sabotage somewhere. SAMS manuals are good, (the Complete series) as are Que books, which are less comprehensive but to the point. Peeve --> Using Gnu info and Tex. A lot of manuals on disk in Tex. Sheesh! EC<:-}
