Linux : Reviews : SUSE Linux 10 - a.k.a. Mercedes Linux
By Ramnath Shenoy Posted: ( Sun 27th Nov 2005 02:17:32[AM] UTC )
Oct 2005 completed my first year as a SUSE Linux user. I had started out with SUSE 9.2 warily.

Linux : Articles : Know Linux
By Pawan Bangar Posted: ( Thu 29th Apr 2004 12:03:26[PM] UTC )
It’s free for download but you have to pay a tiny bit to mail order it or buy it from a company. If you’re getting Linux for more than 2-3 PCs, you can also get training and support at a small free, if you choose to have it. Else it’s the Linux community on the Net to your rescue.
