I was trying to start in safe mode because after I changed the Resolution the Keyboard stopped working in Linux.

When I tried to start into Fail Safe Mode then it froze and the Screen Lines went haywire..

First, my name isn't Chris.

:)

Second, I wouldn't do the upgrade. I'd do a fresh install. I had better luck with the fresh install on my laptop. You could always try the upgrade first and see how it works out for you.

If you move around to different wireless networks you're going to love 10.1.

Not sure.

However, I just finished firing up Xgl with Compiz. Man, that f**king rules. The eye candy factor is through the roof. I've already infected 3 die-hard Windows users here at the office and they all swear they're putting Suse on their home machines tonight.

For those who haven't seen it there's a video and some explanation here:

http://en.opensuse.org/Xgl

Do us all a favor and use SuSE 10. It's stable, there is a commercial version, it has excellent hardware support, there's no good reason to not use it. The home page for the community (read free) version is here:

http://en.opensuse.org/Welcome_to_openSUSE.org


You want version 10. The download links are here:

http://en.opensuse.org/Released_Version


I have SuSE installed, now what?

Here's a GREAT intro guide for Windows users. It will even help you get DVDs playing.

Here is another link that will help you get more up-to-date software and some packages that SuSE can't legally provide:
