The next version of S.u.S.E. Linux still available for download on the web version 5.2, released March 23, 1998.
While KDE is much more barren than even in its 1.0 release, it is much more usable compared to 5.2, and as a user familiar to KDE whose used the desktop environment since its 3.x series, I feel more comfortable using it than FVWM. FVWM is still available and comfortable to use.
Many of the KDE utilities and accessories, like a Paint program, text editor, and...

S.u.S.E. is an acronym for "Software und System Entwicklung", meaning "Software and Systems Development" in German. S.u.S.E. Linux became an independent distribution starting with release 4.2 (reference to The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy) in May, 1996, based on Jurix, packaged as YaST, and no longer simply a translation of the historic distribution SLS.
Verison 4.4 in early 1997 was the first available in English, and it is not until version 5.1 that S.u.S.E....

Hi all,
I like to collect operating systems, and recently I've used archive.org and VirtualBox to pull together a collection of every fixed release version of SUSE Linux/openSUSE from 5.1 in 1997 all the way through the current openSUSE Leap 15.1 last May.
Although there are better tools to simulate hardware better suited for Linux in the 1990s, I thought to make this a sort of experiment in how easily the SUSE Linux of various ages can get up and running in VirtualBox...
If you ever see yourself wanting to manipulate gxmessage dialogs/windows with wmctrl for some reason, you may notice the name of the window set by gxmessage itself is kind of ignored, depending on the parameters you'd use on wmctrl. It will instead still behave as if the window title was "Gxmessage," or yet "gxmessage.Gxmessage," depending on wmctrl parameters. Which is troublesome if you have more than one.
I thought it would be needed to grep the title from a...

The Problem
Linux newbies tend to find man pages somewhat offputting. That may be because they are very concentrated, compressing a large amount of information into a small, highly-formatted package. They go back conceptually to the original UNIX Programmers' Manual, which was designed for experts who just wanted to bone up on something occasionally.
When the GNU people were creating GNU/Linux, they included man pages but also provided an alternative called info pages. This...
