Hey

i thought this may be the best place to start my strategic plan of linux domination on my system.

So which version of the OS do u think is the best for the beginner? and which GUI do u think would be best for a long time windows user. I don't mind change but i have become accustomed to the good old start menu. I had a look at a fairly new GUI called Gnome how's it compare to KDE...
Oh and is there anyway i could optimize it for 3dnow!?

I like the YAST installation system of SuSE 6.1 (soon 6.2), but after you set the system up it pretty much leaves you alone, which I don't find too funny.

Personally I like Gnome, but check out as many as you can and use the one you feel more comfortable with. If you use Windows at the moment and do not want to remove it or want to install Linux from Windows then perhaps you'd like to check out Phat Linux, problem is the download is huge

i like Suse too i bought 6.2.

KDE has some nice features like ALT-TAB like in windows.

Installation went good,YAST, SAX is a very good configuration utility.

Smooth ride all the way.

Ive just installed SuSE version 6.0, and so far its pretty cool. YaST allows you to alter virtually anything about your setup at any time, although I'm not too impressed with the supplied window managers at the mo. They may be better on the full version.

Teq, thanks for the tip about Phat Linux. Got it and started my journey into Linux. Download was not too bad on my cable modem.

Anyway, I was hoping someone could help me with a little problem. I ran xf86config and set up my monitor and video card. Now when I start up KDE I get this wierd scrollable virtual desktop that I hate. How can get it all on one screen without the scrollable mess?

Thanks for any advice.

O.k. what's you've basically done, is specify a desktop bigger than your current monitor res.
This can be solved temporarily by CTRL +, or CTRL -. This will change through all of the resolutions in your config file

I'm not sure at the moment how you specify your normal working res, but it should be in the XF86Config file somewhere.

Other wise, re-run xf86config and only select one resolution.

If the above won't help you could edit the XF86Config file in /etc directory and make the virtual size be the same as the screen mode like this:

SubSection "Display"
Depth 16
Modes "800x600"
Virtual 800 600
EndSubSection

You can edit the file with pico for example:

pico /etc/XF86Config

After editing press Ctrl-X and y[es] to exit and save.
