So, there we have it - not a great deal of enthusiasm for Suse! Perhaps I should have gone for the Ubuntu 'free' distro! I must say that the 'desktop' is nice, but I can't get to grips with 'home.' From 'my computer' 'home shows a set of files, but from the task bar 'home' brings up a different menu with the same files plus my personal folder.
Strange, what should happen is that going to home from "my computer" shoud take you to the home directory within which there will be a directory for each user on the system.
Choosing home from a save as dialogue box or from the task bar should take you straight to (depending on which user you are logged on as) your user directory within home.
The root user generally has it's home directory in a different place to the regular users (not that you should ever be logging into a graphical interface as root) usually this is /root rather than /home/root
