That's cool. I forgot what I searched for, something like "SuSE 9.1 review" or something along those lines. Typing "SuSE LILO GRUB" didn't come up with almost anything useful :/
I think sometimes I must just be lucky in my searches... or I just use Google too much

Onc again, thank you. I just finished installing it, and it is cool. Unfortunately I never saw the option for file system type, so I don't know what it is. If I plan on installing FC3, I will need another HDD, because I have less then 10GB left. Did I mention, thank you?

Yeah, you have to go into the partitioning thing on setup at the point where they show you the configuration you currently have, like software packages and hardware.

I did, but I didn't see the option. Maybe this weekend I will reinstall(I just can't stand to think about the 2 hour setup).

Where can I download SuSe 9.3? Their site only has the live cd of it. Or do you have to buy it?

you'll have to get creative, try a P2P program or torrent. Don't worry, it's perfectly legal, since it's under the GPL liscense, which doesn't require the author to release anything for free, but they must allow others to give it away.

Try this place, yeah you have to pay but its the best and fastest way to get SuSE 9.3.

For computers with small hard drives (and even low processing power), I suggest Damn Small Linux. (http://www.damnsmalllinux.org)

It fits on less than 50MB, and comes with A LOT of nice stuff built-in, including FireFox. ^^ Driver support seems good too. Not bad for an OS that small. After all, Windows 95 needed 75~125MB. ^^

It can even be run on old 80486s cleanly. (See the "atticware party" article on the site. I believe the lower spec one was an 80486DX-33MHz, which is half the speed needed for Windows 98. It may run on even less.)

Also, it can be used as a live CD and even in a bootable USB thumb drive, and can even be run WITHIN another OS, like Windows, or even itself. ^^
