Hardware detection is much improved, apart from CD-Writer and an old ISA AHA1502 SCSI card. Lots of Software to play around with and try out. Bootable DVD for easy installation. Easy integration of Scanner and printer. Xfree 3.3.x setup as default rather than 4.0 even though I selected 4.0.
Security is very tight on kppp for home use.
Something in the install to change this if SuSE is being installed for home use would be nice. KDE2 could have been better organised. It should include KDE1.1.2 apps on the menu. Not a problem for me, but for first time users this is a nightmare. The new user needs to either fork out for Partition Magic or try their hands with fips or something similar and then screws it up.
