Hardware Drivers. In SuSE, ALL the hardware is detected and installed automatically! How is this harder than Windows' constant disc changing and rebooting?

Programming, e-mail, pim, wordprocessing and not so many web-surfing, actually. I get all I need from rss feeds in kagregator.

This may be hard to believe but i get a lot more kick out of games than i get from porn, in fact i can't even remember the last time i actually went surfing for it. I do stumble across it but its not intentional, its probably the hardest thing to avoid on the net. I'm not pretending to be a saint – when i was in my teens it was a different story.
