[NTLUG:Discuss] Does Windows from a partitioning focus control Linux compatibility issues

[Gilbert Morrow]

I see, so setting up a wireless connection in SuSE .
There is a install guide on openSUSE website , of course you need internet
to see it. YaST is your friend in oS .
I hardly use my computers any more after getting a smart phone so I am rusty
on somethings , it has been couple years since I have set up a wireless
connection in oS , maybe someone more current can help.
If not I will try.

Thieves come through Windows, that is why I use Linux.
