forget it. home computers are mostly used for games and this
will never work with Linux (sad but true)

I do not want discussion about if my points about why Linux will not
make it are really true or not. You give one more reason why windows
will still win.

for nearly any other thing Linux is much better.

And this really doesn't matter.

think: when you buy Windows, you can barely do anything. No
msword, no excel. You are already lucky if the mobo drivers
are installed.

Usually the drivers are there, and the DVD players and all that. Yes,
office is missing, but if you really want to use OO, then that's
freely available (with just a few mouse clicks). And MS Office for
home doesn't cost much.

The point is that there is another need at home where SUSE could
answer. But it needs some work in the user friendlines department
(where nobody works). :-)

What do you think about the home server? Could somebody start that
wiki for example? If not even the things needed at YaST to make this
all easier?
