My Experience With openSUSE 10.2
So my latest endevour has been to find a linux alternative to my standard MS Windows XP Pro installation and I think I found it with openSUSE 10.2. While my linux administration skills are by far greater than they were a year ago, I still know I've got a ton of room to go in terms of every day linux functionality. I seem to learn best when I force myself into a spot that I have to figure out the answer, the whole burn the boats, no going back mentality, so thats where I've gotten myself at this point.
Right out of the gate openSUSE immediately saw the leftover Fedora install on my second hard drive, and it automatically set itself to install in its place (awesome!! didn't even have to tell it), as well as my windows partition, which it then proceeded to add as a mount point in my linux install (VERY awesome!) Overall, the install itself doesn't even have to be seen, they have a nice splash screen during the install, but you can hit ESC and see it at work. I don't remember there being much in the way of steps until it told me it was done and it rebooted.
Upon first login into the desktop, it picked up both of my displays, but the second display was all 16 bit color or something, but the main window worked perfect.
