[Qgis-user] QGIS windows v's linux from a newbie perspective

[Darren Norris]

Just a quick follow up,
Yes I'm going for linux, but I am restricted to openSUSE but....
discovered Francesco Teodori maintains an openSUSE repository with GRASS 
and QGIS - this should save me at least a day, the beauty of open source!
http://teodori.org/repository/index.php .

Thank you all again for comments and suggestions.
