another new person 'ere

Hi everyone - I never really post to forums but after sampling new suse I just had to say how impressed I am. I’ve never been impressed enough with a linux distribution before to the extent that I kept it on a machine, but this looks and feels amazing. I’ve been a complete win head since I was a kid with win3.1 and have always found it lacking, unfortunately, as my knowledge doesn’t go to far outside the msft domain, I haven’t been comfortable enough until now that theres a totally viable alternative that will no doubt surpass anything I ever got from windows in a short space of time.
I’m quite pleased with myself too cos I solved a problem that has always bugged me with linux and this laptop but unfortunately, as I managed to quickly bunch it up again, im off to find help somewhere in here!

Nice to meeet u all!
