Hi all,
I have been playing with Suse 9.3 Prof., and especially Gnome and Open Office.org 2, and I am VERY impressed. Firstly, Gnome (and likely KDE as well, I don't know) allows me to seach my other hard drive, which contains Windows XP (which I will soon be dumping now). I have just been able to copy my home accounts spreadsheet (MS Office 3 sheet workbook) from the win drive to the Linux drive, and open it in OO02 - even though it was password protected (I couldn't do that in the earlier version), and fully edit and save it. Now that's what I call power and flexibility. Also, in case you don't know, Gnome now comes with a DVD burner (although I haven't tried it yet). I'll report on that soon. I'd be glad to hear from anyone who already uses or has tried it.
When I first tried Gnome I didn't like it. I loaded Gnome 2.6 'by mistake' on Suse 9.2 prof. and started to like it. So, when I installed 9.3 I decided to run gnome 2.10 as my main desktop and I really like it.
I'd be interested to hear other peoples comments as I am still very new to Linux.
Also, I am still in need of a couple of PC 100 (or 133) 256Mb memory cards if anyone has any for sale. This is for my second machine which only has a 128 and 64 meg strips in at the moment (P3 800). Nobody seems to want that (old) machine, so I thought I may as well put another version of Linux on it and make some comparrisons.
Regards,
Peter
