I finally got to the point where I changed to linux. I’ve had several installs of linux before on servers and development machines, but never on my home workstation – until last Saturday that is! SUSE 9.3 did the job – I was finally convinced. So far I haven’t been disappointed. SUSE 9.3 installed without any hazzle – it actually took just 2½ hours to do a fresh install of Windows XP with SP2 and SUSE 9.3 complete with online updates. As you can see I still have Windows XP installed on my machine (dual boot), but my default boot is SUSE 9.3.
I was most impressed by the way that SUSE detected all my hardware – worked much better than Windows XP btw!
It is not a final goodbye to Windoze since I still have to use it for work-related stuff, but I think that I will be running linux on my machine @ home from now on. It just feels and looks better.
