I've now abandoned the Windows operating system, perhaps forever. Not by choice at first, but now that I'm on Linux I feel like I'm developing the requisite piousness that other Linux users seem to emanate. Can't get my printer working yet though

printer failure excepted, was it easy to set up? and how did you go about getting software that works with it/is at least vaguely compatible with what windows folk use? i've kind of been intending for a while to suss it out, primarily so that i am able to say the 'windows' and 'microsoft' etc with more disdain.

It's easy enough to get the basics running, and the packages that you get with the distribution I'm using (called "Suse", backed by Novell) are really very good - eg. there's Open Office and good multimedia/CD burning things.

Having said that, I need to work out how to print, how to get more resolution on the monitor and how to get the CD burner to respond...
