Default Re: Why I use openSUSE

As for me, it's a long story. I try to tell it short.

My first computer was an Intertec Superbrain. *Two* Z80 processors with CP/M 2.2. That was 1979 or 1980, when I remember it right. Anyway, I got used to have a real Operating System, when others still had a thing called "monitor". Then came the IBM PC. MS-DOS never made me happy but it was a new experience, to have free slots to fix additional hardware in. I soldered a card from a kit with the T800 processor running Helios OS (still on the IBM PC). This was a flavor of Unix capable to run parallel processing.

The natural step was to try Minix and shortly after this came my first install of SuSE. It was something like 1.0.7 if I remember that right. I got used to the SuSE way of doing things and I never regretted to have kept it as my distro.
