It's a shame that linux has so much problems with installations.  Time and 
time again I have seen people say that this distro or that distro would not 
install.  Some can install redhat with out problems while others try in vein.  
Windows on the other hand just installs.  I guess that is the problem you 
will enounter with so many different distro's out there.  None is standard 
and None will install on all hardware configurations.

I have not tried SuSE 8.1,  but am running 8.0 on about 5 machines and they 
all went smooth and hassle free.  But others will have terrible problems.  I 
guess it just depends on the hardware configuration and which distro supports 
it.
