 Posted: Tue Jan 08, 2008 12:22 pm Post subject: Linux (opensuse) |
 |
|
i will use it soon but firstly what do i need to do to get into the internet and the network with it
| Code: | description of network:
Provider: Arcor
Connection: DSL (perma connection)
the first thing is a "starter box" i got from arcor
->its directly connected with the phones and a router "speedport w500v"(t-com)
->speedport is directly connected with a router from arcor
->3 computers are connected
|
| Code: | How it currently works:
->Speedport & starter box are online
->arcor router is fully ignored by computers (like a usually splitter)
->all internet options i only need to do on speedport (like openning ports) |
i hope anyone can help me.. maybe anyone is using opensuse...

I am pretty sure that you just plug it in. I did not understand those "code" boxes though...

| I used suse a few years back, it auto-configures your networking like most modern OSes so you should be fine. |

Get Ubuntu, it's more user friendly.
But if you insist on using Suse, go and make the best of it, I guess...

SUSE isn't a bad starter OS, and it's also KDE based so it's a completely different ballpark compared to Ubuntu. SUSE was the first *nix OS I used and I had no issues figuring it out. |

just go to ubuntu
gutsy has wireless network detection i guess
infact im pretty sure.
it also has bluetooth device detection.
so try ubuntu :S and y dont u install suse/ubuntu in same harddisc as windows :S
it'll save u some trubles.
u can also plug both harddiscs and make /home in one or in a partition
so ur ubuntu/suse use ur harddisc/partition as /home
and u can reinstall it and set same partition/hdd as home n u wont lose any important data.
