SuSE Linux 8.0

SuSE Linux 8.0 comes with a host of improvements and new features, thus justifying the "quantum leap" in the version number from 7.3 to 8.0! The improved, completely revised installation routine is a revolutionary development. The good old YaST1 has disappeared, all functions are now included in YaST2. In addition, YaST2 was revised and enhanced with newly developed modules. Furthermore, the hardware detection was improved and automated to a more advanced degree. The new desktop KDE3 is a major new feature.

SuSE Linux 8.0 is the first distribution to offer KDE 3.0, the new version of the attractive desktop environment KDE. KDE makes working, playing, and surfing even easier for newcomers and equips professionals with complex, adaptable tools. KDE 3.0 boasts a host of innovative features that help save time and money. The SuSE Quickmenu provides direct access to frequently-used data, programs, and utilities. Clear symbols and smart menus make Linux enjoyable.
