OpenSUSE

Year 2004, I was impressed by Xandros Linux. I used it for 1 year on my Office Desktop. I loved it.


Year 2005, I used SimplyMEPIS at my office, I simply wiped off Windows & kept using MEPIS till I left the company. I used it to the full extent, used network printers, Mail Client, Web browsing, IM.

Year 2006, used Ubuntu, pretty nice Distro but lacks fun part :-( Hardware compatibility is fantastic, but...it lacks something which was there in previous Distros which I used.

Year 2009, after a long time I used OpenSUSE & it impressed to the every possible extent, Finally .....I found a good distro that runs on my laptop (pretty much low end, 2GB/40GB,Celeron M) .

I downloaded the ISO for fun, installed it on a USB (4GB) & still running it. I will let my wife use it, test it for a week or so & will install it permanently on my Laptop. :-)
