Just a couple of questions, to see if I'm missing anything: 1. My impression is that the SuSE distribution doesn't probe for hardware as much as RedHat does, specifically, for Ethernet and graphics cards. Am I right? 2. The system configuration tools in Yast seem primitive and incomplete, again compared to RedHat. Have I missed some tool, or do I get a copy of Linuxconf, and start configuring? Also, someone at the Installfest asked what SuSE stands for - here goes: "Gesellschaft f)B?r Software- und Systementwicklung mbH", which can be roughly translated as "Company for Software- and System-Development" On October 21st, 1998, the official name has been changed from "S.u.S.E." to "SuSE" (without the dots), mainly because people were often misspelling the old name and it was a very uncomfortable to type. However, you may still use the old name, even though it is expected to vanish." - Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" on the first line of the message body to discuss-request at blu.org (Subject line is ignored).
