Hi Terry and welcome to KLUG :) I've been using SuSE 9.3 for a few weeks now and have found it to be one of the best distros to use and very easy to set up. Features include KDE 3.4 , and Open Office 2.0 (Pre). A link to download it from is here: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/current/iso/ 5 CDs in all, if you want to come along to the next LUG meeting you can bring some disks and I can burn off the disks I have, my 5th ISO is corrupt though but you can still get it installed without, there is also a live disk as well for you to use and evaluate from. There's plenty of support around for it as well. More info on SuSE can be found here at www.suse.com Regards Nathan On Sunday 28 August 2005 11:12, Terry Bicknell wrote: > Good Day Group Members, > I have just joined the group and wish to extend my activity with Linux. > However I have hit my first hurdle, that of selecting and downloading a > copy for regular use.
