If you are approaching this installation with some trepidation,
relax! Although some of the horror stories of the
bygone past may have been true, your experience installing
openSUSE is likely to be a pleasant memory later on down
the road. If you have a typical system with reasonably
modern hardware, installing should be a snap. To make
that even more likely, it is important to plan ahead. This
chapter and the next two will help you make an easy transition.
In this chapter, we will think carefully about all the things
that you need to consider before installing openSUSE. We
will go over the minimum and recommended system
requirements for using openSUSE and try to help you avoid
some of the potential driver-related problems with some
peripherals.
Finally, there are the questions of partitioning your hard drive(s), which you should definitely
think about before starting to install. openSUSE is very flexible and can meet most
any computing need you have. This chapter is about figuring out what those needs are.
Planning Your openSUSE Installation
Even if you are installing openSUSE on a single computer (which is a basic assumption in
this book), there may be some business-related considerations to make before getting
started with openSUSE.
