I had friend ask what it would take, for him to move to Linux. He was having some problems with his Windows XP system and was tired of the aggravation. I decided to go take a look at his setup and see if he was a good candidate.
The first thing I did was ask why [...]

I had mentioned that I was helping a local store put together a PC running Linux. The store, INFOX, is now ready and the PC is in place. It is running openSUSE 11.0 KDE and has sign-ons in both English and Spanish.

I have been using one version or another of Linux as my primary PC operating system for over two years. I have been playing with Linux, since around 2000, and I feel that it is finally able to satisfy most people’s needs for a desktop PC.

I have been putting the pre-release of openSUSE 11.0 through its paces on my backup PC. To this point, it appears that I will be a convert. SUSE was one of the first Linux distributions I used when I first started playing around with Linux back in 2000.
I have been using both the Gnome and [...]
