Linux is poping up every where these days and it is said that 80% of internet servers are Unix / Linux based. So what is available for me and you the home or new to linux user.

SuSE linux brought to you by Novell is a great home or business linux solution.
it comes pretty complete with almost any piece of software you could need in the box.

i recomend SUSE because of its ease of use and simularity to windows or mac depending which you choose at start up. this can all sound very confusing but is very simple, In linux you have a choice of GUI (graphical user interface - windows) 2 known popular GUIs are GNOME and KDE. gthe GNOME desktop enviorment is very like macs OSx and the KDE desktop environment is very like windows. and you can choose which to use at logon with one click.

the installation process is very simple and if you have installed windows or a mac OS then you will find this very easy and everything is fully explained to you in a panel on the left of your screen any way. you can chose the typical install which install most of the software from the 5CDs.
you can easly change all this by chosing the stuff you want from groups of programs.
like games, multimedia. graphical, development, Office, productive,ect,ect all with full descriptions of what the program does,so finding the right things is easy. by default it usually give you the option to install the GUI you want with basic program packages and Office, perfect for anybody new or old user to get their pc running for most jobs.

which ever GUI you choose you will feel right at home, all the buttons, controls and menus seem to be in the right places like in KDE you get a windows style start menu and button the windows open work and look like windows.
the Office package is tops. Open Office with all the stuff you expect from Office, word processor, excell style spread sheet,access style databases, presentation tools and a webpage creator.
all very simular to what you might be used to.

the multi media soft ware is quite good with a range of players including MP3, realplayer and quicktime support. you may need to do a little tweaking to play all video formats but this is no harder than installing a windows codec or the VLC player from Videolan.org.

another reason i recomend SuSE is its GUI (graphical user interface) control panel missing from other linux distributions. the conrol panlel called YAST2 works like the windows control panel giving you tools to do most of the admin jobs on your PC like add/remove software, change network setting, adjust the monitor all with a few fully explained clicks rather than learning lines of code to do a simple job.
and as just mentioned another reason for SuSE is it takes you away from the linux command line and console so no need to learn code.

as a cheap alternative to windows or mac os in the linux flavor SuSE is the one.
very simple and simular so new or experienced users can fell right at home.
