Let me say again.....SuSE 6.3 :) (and it does configure the SiS 6326 quite
nicely)
And for a first time install, booting from the first cd yields absolutely NO
command line. Of course you can still install via expert mode booting from
cd 2..And at only 23 bucks for the 6 cd set AND book, you can't lose! (I
would thorow in a blender but SuSE may not like my selling techniques.. :p

either.
