First of all, why is SCO in braces, you'll ask. The reason is, I have not seen anything in this linux distribution that sounds or smells like Caldera/SCO, even though I downloaded it through SCO's UnitedLinux beta tester website. I will mostly focus on the installation (as I am a UNIX installation developer in "real life"), but I will also discuss more parts of the UnitedLinux distribution. For more screenshots of UnitedLinux and its installation procedure, go here.

I cant believe that...
I have bought every SuSE version from 6.4 to 8.0 (well, almost every, I skipped 7.2) and hardware detection became better with every release.
From my experience SuSE´s Yast(2) has the best hardware detection when it comes to "everyday-standard devices" like graphic, sound, network, removable media, etc., second only to Mandrake which even detects ISA (!) Sound- and Networking cards (!!).
My PC has a SoundBlaster 128 PCI, a NE2000 networking chip, onboard sound, usb, scsi, and all of them were reliably detected since Yast2 was introduced with Version 7.0.
I just cant believe that UnitedLinux ships with a version that inferior to what 8.0 has ??!
SB128 not detected?? Networking problems?? Strange, indeed... Perhaps this is because of the beta status, but as I said: I almost cant believe hearing that...
