Yast detected everything perfect. Second, Linux is free and diffirent. w/ suse and Ubuntu running Xgl, you have super slick nextgen desktops RIGHT NOW and free. Also, gNome and KDE use alot less sys resorces than Aero Glass(vista). So you can have all the fancy deskop eyecandy w/ 1/2 the system you would need to run Aero Glass. I see nothing but good times for linux ahead. Installing vista for me was a living nightmare. And when i got it running, it gets unstable if you let it run. Ppl are eirther going to stick with XP or look for somthing else. Just like those Mac gurus, reg ppl just like John L. right here a BOW, and myself are discovering linux. Linux is constanly being fixed, updated, and upgraded by companies and its more savy users. I see linux becoming bigger than Mac very soon.

I still think the best Linux distro for Windows users is Linspire, but it's not free. Really, though, until doing things like installing drivers is as simple in Linux as it is in Windows or Mac, Linux won't get very far with the masses.
