Windows vs Linux

Commercial versions of SUSE are better tested and more reliable, and
are more likely to configure correctly. When I installed SUSE 10
commercial version, it figured out which binary-only graphics
accelerator driver to use, installed it and configured it correctly,
and ran beautifully.

I've got SUSE 10 SP 2 running on the other computer (a twin to the GX240).
It set up my monitor's resolution up to 120 instead of the 85 (the norm
for openSUSE). I didnt know if that was what I really wanted, but it
obviously did something different. It also came built in with an MP3
player and nicer fonts -- but the choice of software in its repositories
is more limited. For what I need, openSUSE works great. But if folks want
technical support and are willing to pay the very reasonable rate of $120
for 3 years support, I'd go with SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop.

Cannot get OpenSUSE 11 to install on a Dell Latitude D620 here. Won't
get beyond the second screen. Tried many times. Checked CD via surface
scan, no issues there. Not looking for an answer really, just stating my
experience with it.

I did an isntall on a D610, without any problem.

You didn't receive the least bit of error message?
