"Start here"

Yes, I'm an MS boy for 15 years now. Work as a .NET / MSSQL / VBA dev, but Vista's antifunctionality and high HW reqs makes me sick, so I'm boycotting it. My mate Pete has been a linux boy for equally ages, and reckons openSuSE is the go.

I've trashed my linux setup 5 times already, and as I'm about to start my third reinstall after 4 days of doom and gloom*, I reckon its high time I started a log of what I'm doing. Might even regain some sanity through cathartic expression.

*When my PCs are in pain, so am I!
