New to SUSE

Does SUSE have a system restore like XP? I have a laptop to give to my sister. I would like to remove my information.

Not really.

All your stuff is in /home

Depending on the size of /home you can make a backup fairly easily. And you will be able to get all your files and settings to transfer to a new machine.

#3

Just a thought:
Log in as root. Go to Yast → security and users. You can delete yourself and all your /home/yourname files with a click. And while your there you can create a user with your sister’s name and her /home/hername new filesystem.
