    Going to try open Suse 12.1

    I am downloadint Open Suse 12.1 as we speak. Seems that there has not been any activity on the linux forum section in about five years. Too bad. i am tired of windows for the most part. i posted that I had originally bought lindows and after the microsost suit scared them they changed it to Linsire 6.0. I had not fired up the PC with the Lindows on it for three or so years and when i did i found that xandros had bougt it out, stripped everything that they wanted and discontinued The Free software feature, "CNR.com". I then found out that Xandros discontinued Linspire.
    So that left me wondering which linux based Distro to get . i settled on open suse 12.1. it is downloading now and i will come back and let any one who may be still on the linux forum know how it is going.

    Dunno why you say that about activity - you need to look south of the stickies. I'm curious to hear how you like that version. I've been using PCLinuxOS for several years on a second machine and just recently installed the 2010 version. Quite nice for casual Linux users like me.

    I've always found OpenSuse impossible to get along with - it's just too damn quirky Ubuntu is my distro of choice, if you can't get on with Suse I recommend that you give it a go:

    open SUSE

    Finished the open suse download. i am trying to figure out how to change the desktop icon size and also on the Firefox web browser how to change the toolbar font size and the color contrast of the toolbar vs the font. the toolbar is a light green and the font is a grayish white. very hard to read it.
    i am downloading mozilla thunderbird mail client as that is what i have been most familiar with for a few years.
    i will keep the ubuntu dowloas site in case i decide to try something else.

    I also have problems with every version of OpenSuse that I've tried. I tend to prefer Mint debian and Fuduntu. But there are a lot of other nice distros out there.
