What is the best operating system? Ultimately, the decision is up to
the user. Nevertheless, we would like to draw your attention to some of
the advantages of SuSE Linux:
-
Easy
Usually, SuSE Linux is easier and quicker to install than Windows.
YaST2 enables you to install your SuSE Linux system with a few steps. In most cases, no additional
drivers are required for your hardware.
-
Secure
A SuSE Linux system provides more
protection against viruses and 0190 dialers than Windows.
Moreover, you are notified automatically about any available
security updates which you can easily install directly from the
Internet.
-
More
Linux is more than a mere operating system. Linux is also a
collection of useful applications, most of which are installed
during the installation and can be utilized immediately after the
initial system start-up. This includes:
-
Inexpensive
Apart from the actual operating system, the extremely attractive
price includes the programs listed above (and many more) as well as
free
installation support and free bug fixes/security updates via
the web. Professionals will appreciate the development environments
shipped with the Professional Version without any surcharge.
Furthermore, no license costs are incurred for the installation on
multiple machines or for programs subject to the GPL (General Public License).
-
Compatible
You do not have to remove your old operating systems in order to
install Linux.
The installation routine of SuSE Linux detects installed systems
and offers you the possibility to boot SuSE Linux or a different
operating system when the computer is powered on.
Almost all Windows applications have Linux-based counterparts. You
can easily access the data stored in your Windows partitions.
SuSE Linux enables read and write access to FAT32 partitions and
read access to NTFS partitions.
-
Professional
A SuSE Linux Professional system is suitable for (almost)
all purposes. All tools needed to customize the system for the
intended purpose are included. The system can be configured as a
firewall (packet filter) or as a mail, web, or file server. Linux
systems can also be used as Internet routers for networks or as
simple desktop systems.
A Linux system does not entail any forced registration or
activation. After all, why should it be necessary to activate
software for which you already paid money?
-
Private
SuSE Linux respects your privacy more than other PC operating
systems. Internet programs do not transmit any useless or undesired
information.
-
Mobile
Thanks to Palm synchronization and WLAN support, you can enjoy
unlimited mobility with a PDA or notebook. Using the profile
manager, your laptop can access the network and hardware
configurations at various locations with a mouse click.
-
Different
Linux is not Windows! However, though Linux is somewhat different,
you will notice that it is not only just as easy to use but allows
you to use your PC in a much more adaptable and individual way.
Linux systems can be configured more flexibly than any other
system. For a perfect work environment, various graphical user
interfaces (Gnome, KDE, Enlightenment, WindowMaker), can be configured
freely by all users on the PC.
-
Alternative
In the past, Linux used to be a complicated system for technically
inclined users and programmers. However, following its sweeping
victory in the server segment, Linux is now in the course of
conquering the desktop with a simplified operation and a wealth of
preinstalled applications. Thus, SuSE Linux is the ideal system for
workstations. SuSE Linux is THE alternative!
