That was the point of my earlier mail. SuSE 8.0 installed with KDE3
ready to use. I didn't have to tweak it all. Even the wife could have
installed it. imho Linux as a desktop OS is already a viable propositon
providing you use a distro aimed at the novice/typical M$ user..

My bro is getting a non Mac machine soon so I'll see if he can install
SuSE 8.0. He's just a user (hence the Mac) and knows nothing of
Linux. I'll let you know how he gets on.
