Switching to the chameleon - the Ansys blues

I have been using Ubuntu Linux for quite a while now, and it completely made the use of Windows obsolete for me.

I am not one of those "Windows bashers", as the system is still, definetly, the #1 system when it comes to running engineering applications, but that's what market does for you. Ubuntu Linux felt very friendly and "natural" to me, but with every following version I liked it less and less. Until.. .enter Lynx.

long story short, lynx prooved to be not only less "by my taste", but also "refused" to run Ansys, one of the tools I use, and it point-blank refused to be compatibile with my laptop's nVidia GT 320M graphic card.

this, combined with the rather ugly and outdated gnome interface, made me switch to openSuSE.

I never liked it. It was the first Linux I used, and it's effort to make everything GUI and everything YaST made me want to throw my comp out the window.

But oh well...
