IPv4 is an internet protocol - are you sure you don't actually want to know how to disable IPv6
Disable IPv6 - openSUSE Forums

We use openSUSE because we love it, it works, it makes us happy... whatever...

I think many of us, if not all here, use OpenSUSE because we choose to, we like it and we feel more secure with it. Linux in general is not Windows. The difference between Windows and Linux is something like the difference between cars and trains. Both are forms of transportation, both get you where you want to go, but they do it a little different then the other.

From what I have seen in this forum, there is a lot of help. Even if you don't get an answer by someone right away just searching the forum or checking out the wiki can many times give you the answer you need.

Welcome and Have Fun

Welcome to our forum.

Here is a link to a basic openSUSE concepts page for some general reading: http://en.opensuse.org/Concepts

I don't know what you meant by "opening" IPv4 (maybe you meant disable IPv6).
as for why we use opensuse, well, myself, I searched a distro that looks beatiful from boot up through shutdown, that works and that doesn't look B/W, and OpenSUSE fits perfectly.

I use SUSE because when i made the change from windows to linux SUSE was the first distro i tried and I have never changed it is the most secure and the best supported distro available today, and it is the only distro " I FEEL" that blows windows out of the water so to speak. i can do everything windows can do and i am running SUSE 11.1 with KDE 4 .

Because it offers me the software that enables me to do my job far more effectively than any other software available and I don't get the hassles certain other software creates for their users.

Hey Jon, for me I chose openSUSE because I didn't get well with ubuntu, which is, I think, the most popular linux distribution but I kinda thank god I didn't because now I'm loving SUSE!

And here's why I didn't choose openSUSE 1st, well I saw openSUSE for the first time on my "uni" professor's laptop which made think, hmmm... And then one my buddies told me that openSUSE is for oldies and people who really just want to get the job done which isn't bad, and then he told me about ubuntu....I guess you can tell what happened next.

Hope you'll enjoy it even more than me

Hi, I think I'm as lost as you. I would ask for a section only for begginers like us in the forum (maybe is already and haven't found yet, hehe). I don't like to bother people about simple questions wich became complicated for begginers.

Try asking an intelligent question in a new thread, you might be surprised.
