Hey Suse Users!
I am a new Suse user and I have a HP mini 311-1037nr 2.5 gigs of memory, Win 7 laptop with a nvidia ION graphics processor with a 32-bit 1.6ghz atom processor. I switched to SUSE because win 7 was starting to dog really bad and I was tired or re-installing every 6 mos to keep it fresh.
I tried about half a dozen distro's and this one was the fastest and most user friendly. I ran USB live for about 1 week before taking the plunge and installing it on my laptop HDD. I love it so far but after the update I am getting all kinds of problems.
Firefox takes forever to connect to a page, apps are crashing all the time, YAST doesn't work most of the time. When it does it always says it cant connect to the update server or some non-sense. The Live USB version did none of these things. The startup seems great still. The depositories are the standard ones installed with SUSE I did not change those because I don't understand enough about Linux to mess with it. Keep it simple and functioning so I can do school work and use SUSE without windows like crashing all the time. This is normal for SUSE or LInux? Need some help with this problem. Remember I'm new to Linux for school and I do not understand the terminology I just need stability. Noob terms please! lol. thanks guys/gals. Hope to hear from you soon.
