[olug] Suse 9.0 pro

[Craig Wolf]

I read the article on OSNews and it was a good article.  I started the install before I had a chance to read it so I am glad I did read it WHILE installing.  
The install reboots after the first CD is finished but does not reboot after the rest of the CD installs are done.  Boots fast but shuts down slower than RH9 did.  I like it so far.  I have it installed on a Compaq EVO N800c 1.7Ghz Pentium-M, laptop with 512MB Ram, 12GB partition of 30GB drive, with Win2k on other partition.  I have plans to load it on a Dell 500Mhz machine w/512MB Ram and a 10GB drive and an 850Mhz Duron system with 512Mb Ram and about 10GB Partition with Win2k on the other side...
The laptop has a Built-in wireless NIC that I want to try and get working.  Have not tried yet...kinda excited to see if I can get it working...

I will throw up more when I find out more...
