If there are two things in this apartment that I don't like, that would first be the dog upstairs which barks at 5 AM almost every morning, and the fact that UPS almost never deliver things on our door. They never bother to check if we are in. The SuSE people were very kind to send us the Professional version of SuSE 8.1, but unfortunately, I received it 10 days later after it arrived in the apartment's complex. But now we got it here, we gave it a spin for almost a week, and here is what we think about it.

In this review, you stated on the order that the installation process is not step-by-step, but you had to click to where you wanted to customize/configure. In SuSE 8, It did this same thing. I liked it because it would let me double check the settings before I complied the distro. It reminded me of sort of a "fail-safe" way of setting up the computer.
"Also, the default font on KDE is terrible. I immediately leached the Microsoft Web fonts from my Red Hat 8 partition and changed everything to be using the official Arial font. Now everything looks a bit better IMO."
I second that. I think that fonts are an issue in Linux. Major distributions should have a fonts development team working to create a couple good anti-aliased fonts. I think that the linux distros were not working on this because MS had the fonts up on thier server for so long for free. The companies became dependant on those fonts. Now new fonts need to be designed and placed under the GPL. Then there would truly be free fonts available.
Very good review. Do you think I could get it to install on my P1 166Mhz? What is the hardware requirements of this OS?
