Hi, I'm new to SuSE, just got one of those microtel boxes from Walmart.
I used to use Mandrake, was a pretty good Mandrake fan. But now I think
SuSE has it all beat. It even saw my digital camera, a Polaroid that
usually isn't even supported. Not only that, but it works too! That
never happened under Mandrake. I hope to have some more successes to
compare soon. I had some software that I could never get to run on
Mandrake that I want to see if it works in SuSE. I was told it was
probably a distribution speciific problem, so I should be able to get it
to work. YAST rules too!
