Mandrake 9.1 is pretty nice, but I'll probably go back to my old trusted friend SuSE.
My Box always shuts down, Wine is ready to go, and I got music.
Also I get to practice my German.

amazon was suppose to ship my suse april 1-2, not when i check the web site, they post aprill 3-5th. i quess they were somewhat misleading on there web site, at least that is the feeling i am getting....on when they would ship it.

Can Someone make ISO images of it? I WOULD buy it, but to be honest I can't afford it (poor college student!) hehe

Anyone know where I can find the specs of 8.2 so I can see what the changes are? Couldn't find squat at suse.com.

here is a review on suse 8.2

http://www.madpenguin.org/article.ph...thread&order=0

i bought it because i wanted the better looking desktop, kde 3.1

shassouneh · 04-05-2003, 09:34 AM

Read the review. The guy who wrote it had some trouble and assumed that SuSE did a bad job on 8.2. Maybe he had a weird hardware configuration??? I have never had a problem with it.

Can't wait to get my hands on 8.2

Can someone PLEASE make ISO images of it if/when they get??

i read another review, quy gave a 8.2 on scale of 10. he mentioned that suse fixed some problems , the one problem that was stated in review was some of the applications did not work.

i like suse because it,s easy to update software off the cd-roms, and the online update through yast is great. i also like the way it functions. smooth functioning operating system with suse.

all linux systems have there pluses and minus,s, none are perfect.

I have used SuSE 7.3 and it runs very very nice and installation is so easy. The performance is slightly slower than Gentoo or Slackware though.

ronss · 04-07-2003, 05:07 AM

i still have suse 7.3 in my storage are, also have 8.0. had 8 running until i installed red hat 9 last night, goint to check red hat out.

a note, i had ordered suse 8.2 at http://www.amazon.com on march 29, just got a email today and stated that shipment is delayed and that i would not receive it until after april 20. i cancelled the order, comp usa may have it before then.

see ya
