Installed fine but Graphics are a mess!
Hi, I was able to install DSL fine but the whole way through, the grahics were discolored and a little mangled. It's not the iso or the cd because it works fine on my other computer. Could it be a setting within graphics? Any advice would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

what graphics card do you use?
Here's why Linux is easier than Windows:
Package Managers! Apt-Get and Portage (among others) allow users to install programs MUCH easier than Windows can.
Hardware Drivers. In SuSE, ALL the hardware is detected and installed automatically! How is this harder than Windows' constant disc changing and rebooting?
