Simplex3's SuSE Linux Converts Thread

Looking for some help moving to Linux? Drop the question here and we'll see what I can do. Some topics I expect we'll cover:

1. Installation
2. What apps do what?
3. My (hardware) isn't working (right)
4. Multi-media issues

Remember, if you need help sooner rather than later:

Kubuntu users:
1. Launch Konversation from the "Internet" menu.
2. Connect to #kubuntu by double clicking on it.
3. Ask away.

Suse users:
1. Install X-Chat
2. Connect to the Freenode network
3. Join the #suse channel
4. Ask away. There are usually about 280 helpful souls in there.

I'll also try to keep this up as a sort of FAQ. Non-question-specific posts will have a large, bold heading (see post #2).

*Note: Don't forget you can try out Linux without installing anything on your PC at all. Download one of the LiveCD versions, burn it to a disc, then reboot the PC with the LiveCD in the drive and your computer will load Linux and your hard disk will not be changed. You can get them at either of these links:
http://www.kubuntu.com/
http://www.novell.com/products/susel...rors_isos.html
http://www.mepis.org/
http://www.knoppix.org/

*Note: If I start asking you to run a bunch of things from a command prompt it isn't because that's the only way to do it, it's because that's the only way I can "control" what is happening on your end.

Go somewhere else. I've provided links to videos and descriptions of Xgl in action. And no, you can't play Madden.

OK, this is driving me nuts. I have three sets of Steam install instructions for Linux and nothing works. I have the tahoma.ttf font in the windows/fonts folder. I have the moxcontrol dll installed. I have run STeamInstall.exe. Everytime I try this I get invisible fonts and a non-functional steam file. When i go to program files there is no steam directory there even after I run the steaminstall completely..

I have tried removing wine and reinstalling it but nothing has changed.. This is really pissing me off.

LOL! I will say that I just probably haven't tried enough honestly. I have had one piece of software act like it installed, but can't find it on the system. Other then that, everything else I have tried has failed completely, mostly for good reason though.
