If you are new to Linux, I'd advise Ubuntu rather than Suse. Actually, I'd advise it generally as well. Last time I used Suse I uninstalled it within an hour because of glitches and bugs.
Suse loves my machine
It runs like a dream, has since 10.2 when i fiorst used it seriously.I LOVE YAST! It's the main reason i use SUSE, such a comprehensive and powerful set of system tools. The Yam updater had a few problems in the 10.3-11.1 releases, but everyone just used a different tool for doing system wide updates.
Suse's SAX2 video configuration tool is amazing as well, there is no easier way to recover the display manager from shell.

Void; the conmmand '1' for the system to repair is incorrect.

The Ubuntu disc is from August 2008 and will not boot. I get an error message. (it mentioned Delll)
Doesn't matter; I only wanted to use it on the Dell to do a disc check and bootfix,and it seems that is not possible. Can't do anything right now about new CD's as this machine has no burner. I should be able to use the Pioneer burner from the Pentium 3.
Once the Dellis fixed, I intend to format this PC and install Ubuntu to give it a good try for a few months,with view to putting it on the Dell.
Try c: or just c
