[KLUG Advocacy] New SuSe User

Hamsun?  What is this, a contest of unusual middle names?
I'm not sure which is less common, Hamsun or Tauno.

Notice I didn't change my "from".  
Mine doesn't stand a chance in this contest!   :-)

Note that SuSE installs postfix by default as it's MTA.
You have to manually select sendmail (and deselect postfix)
during the install or add/remove software.   (FWIW)

Yeah, it doesn't like my monitor at home.  Not in the database I guess. 
It gave me some grief, and I had to manually add the option DPMS in
XF86Config to get power saving working.  But it's working fine now.
