I am new Linux(SUSE 10) from Windows XP. I am enjoying Marcel's new book(also enjoyed your 2 hr interview on Computer Am.) Have question for you or anyone with ideas on Back-UPS. I live in Florida, a place with lots of interrupted power to my house. With XP I set program to automatically shut down when I lose power. How do Linux users approach this? My computer stays on all time. Thanks, |

RE: Wanting to switch to Linux
My wholehearted suggestion is to get Suse Linux 10 Eval version. This version does not run out and it has some important proprietary software. Suse has great hardware recognition and solid package management through YAST. When you install it choose KDE as your desktop and you will find a familiar GUI that is similar and yet more powerful than XP.
