    Tell me why when I installed openSUSE Linux, that after playing around with it, I have only 15.5 gigs of space left on my HDD. I know that my HDD is 100gigs max, (95.7 or whatever it is if you want to be technical) and that when I installed openSUSE I set it to delete my old partition of Windows.

    What the **** is happening?

    Help me.

    Well I would just delete the program itself. In overall I have no idea what you are talking about though.

    DBAN the entire drive, install SUSE with minimal features (should be a default layout, but whatever (you'll want the graphical environment, for an example, so shoot for that)), and then use a graphical disk manager to see where most of the data is located. I don't know about the default SUSE tools that do that, but there should be one.

    KDE is to Gnome as retarded Mac OS X interface is to honest-to-goodness CLI. Do that. KDE is suck.

    It had some cool things to it like how when you zoom out and **** it was all like wow i've got transperancy as my background.

    But it sucked everywhere else. It was just ugly. Disgusting.

    Use the Compiz Fusion compositing manager then. It works a hella lot better and doesn't crash as much. Also, there's a bunch of third-party plugins (if there can be any sort of third-party in open source) that do some pretty trippy stuff, like letting you rotate windows in 3D and use Flying Windows as your screensaver.
