Thanks for that link, it was very interesting. I might stick Open Suse onto my machine when I get around to sticking the new disk in.

just an update
opensuse 11.2 32bit is running very well they have done wonders with KDE
at the mo playing with opensuse 11.3 beta with KDE 4.4
for the first time i can honestly say this is a linux distro that can take windows directly on head to head
well done Novell and openSUSE …

Much as I liked 11.2, I've installed 11.3 a few weeks ago. Verdict: OMJF is it good! It is a sexy beast of an OS. It even picked up my 11.2 customisations and used them in the new install - top marks! Here are some reviews I agree with: http://www.tuxradar.com/content/reviewed-opensuse-113http://www.thinkdigit.com/Features/open ... _5223.html_________________Jim

I installed 11.3 in a VirtualBox on my laptop - the first time a VM hasn't caused the system to crawl, but 8GB RAM and 8 cores seem to help out there! I gave openSUSE 64-bit 2GB RAM to play with and it can use as many cores as it needs. It looks nice so far.
Haven't gotten around to trying the new GUI, as I've had other things to do.
