Although you're a troll (and I saw the exact same message for 9.1 and 9.2,
I'll reply. (I'm still on 9.2 running on an Athlon XP2400 with 512MB.)

MS Word (under CX Office) took 26 seconds to load same document.

Firefox (1.0.3) takes four seconds from click to displaying my home page(
slashdot.org )

Internet Explorer 6 (under CX Office) takes roubhly 62 seconds to load and
display my default page (about:blank).

I never burn faster than 24x so I can't comment. Also on Windows I have
Roxio, so I don't use Nero.

Sounds like a hardware problem. I don't have a file called logs under the
var folder. I do have a folder, called, log, which has a file called
messages.

This file has a bunch of stuff probably related to my using VPN and RDC to
get to my work systems.

Um, I burn DVD's all the time. At least once a week I back up my entire
systeem to two DVD's using KDAR and K3B.

What part of Linux is wrong? Nothing. You're talking about Suse, which runs
on top of Linux.

Nah, I doubt it. There'll be enough sheep to use MS Products for years to
come.

HTH!
