Greetings.
I’ve gotten so frustrated in the past with every OpenSuse distribution since v9, mainly with hardware and other problems. I have to say that I tried v12.1 and so happily relieved. Even my Toshiba notebook wireless works! I had spent countless hours in v11 trying to get it to work. Mp3’s play without hours of troubleshooting and research. Unbelievable, Thank you!!! :good:
I love it!!!
I’m not quite ready to leave window$ entirely so I dual boot with Wn 7 on an Intel dual core 64bit notebook.
I have a couple questions if you don’t mind.
-
Is there an easy to learn, easy to follow step by step learning solution for BASH? I have a very good Debian video-based tutorial but it seems a lot of it is different than Suse terminal commands.
-
There used to be a thread which lists popular window$ programs and their OpenSuse counterparts. Other such lists can be found on the web, but this particular thread had downloadable RPM packages prepared and uploaded by other users. I’ve done some searching this forum but I have yet to find it.
-
Is there a virtual disk program that can load and run an .iso disk image?
-
Is there a program that can run DIVX videos?
Thanks in advance.

bash is bash is bash is bash. 
When it comes to internal commands, bash is going to be the same across
different Linux distributions.
Where you may run into differences is in external commands to the shell.
While it’s an advanced tutorial, you might look at

Bash itself is a shell and scripting language, so it’s not something that
is learned ‘step by step’ in most cases.

ISO files can just be mounted like any other filesystem. In userland,
there’s a tool called ‘fuseiso’ that is good and doesn’t require any
special permissions to run.

Check out the multimedia howto in the multimedia section. That should
get you started.
