The little story about my experience with Linux
First contact with Linux was SuSE Linux 5.2 on (IIRC) 5 CDs at 1998. Yes, of course, it's a long time. ;-) As Linux newbie was rugged work to configure the system. But I had a great help from a FreeBSD expert to set the system up. So, I have a lot of fun to experiment my own SuSE Linux installation. :-) Few months later I remove it from harddisk. It was a bit difficult to understand some configurations (e.g. X-Server, and much more) and the internet hadn't been widely used yet. (Internet-Flatrate cames later ;-) )
After a long time that I bought SuSE Linux 9.3 Professional. I had to hope, I can move away from MS Windows. But this time I installed SuSE only as secondary system. I wasn't ready to switch to Linux, the more so as incomplete hardware supports and conflicts at that time. I test some more linux distributions e.g Debian, Gentoo, Mandriva formerly Mandrakelinux, DSL and much more. But I go back to SuSE. :-)
As openSUSE 10.2 (for the first time ever "openSUSE") has been released, I downloaded and installed it on my computer. My surprise that this distribution changed for the better. I decided to wait for openSUSE 10.3 and installed it on my server. openSUSE 10.3 hasn't been disappointed me. :-P
I switched from MS Windows to Linux with openSUSE 11.0. From now on MS Windows is my secondary OS, because some games runs unfortunately only under MS Windows. :-/
Status quo: openSUSE 13.2 / (MS Windows XP is only in a VM) :-D
