5. Summary
A Brief History of SuSE Linux S. u. s.E: "Software und System Entwicklung ". in English: "Software and System Development ". software and system development is the most straightforward name among many Linux releases.
SuSE can be traced back to 10 years ago, that is, 1993. founded by four Germans and owned SuSE companies so far: Hubert Mantel, Burchard Steinbild, Roland Dyroff and Thomas Fehr. early SuSE companies did not develop their own operating systems, but used Slackware (a Linux operating system known for its stability) all scripts and comments are translated into German and installed in 40 floppy disks. later, CD was used as the loading media release.
Finally, the Germans decided to develop their own operating systems instead of fixing the Slackware bugs. we also hope to improve the operational performance of Slackware and add better installation and configuration tools. they transplanted a primary operating system from Florian LaRoche and improved it, resulting in the birth of SuSE's first Linux operating system: suSE Linux4.2. at the same time, SuSE also developed a famous system installation and configuration tool: YaST.
In early 1997, SuSE started its first North American company in Auckland, California, and thus entered the world's Linux system market.
2. Introduction to SuSE Linux 9.0 Professional Edition The SuSE Linux system described in this article is SuSE Linux 9.0 Professional ). in addition to the Professional Edition, SuSE also has the Personal Edition and various Server editions ). personal Edition and Professional edition are basically the same in terms of server functions and development tools (for specific differences, see the following comparison), so this article will focus on the representative Professional Edition.

3. Install SuSE Linux 9.0 Professional Edition The installation of SuSE Linux 9.0 is very simple. With the help of SuSE's powerful installation and configuration tool YaST, the next step is basically enough. here is a brief introduction to YaST. yaST is called "Yet another Setup Tool? The name is also very direct, maybe it is related to the pragmatic and direct character of the German people, right? : D)
The structure of the control panel in YaST and Windows is very similar. novice users can easily find all system configurations, hardware configurations, and network configurations. basically, all system management projects can be found here. each configuration item has a friendly user interface, which is very convenient to use. it also supports text interfaces to ensure YaST usage when video card problems occur. however, YaST has a flaw, which I will mention in the following article.
After loading SuSE Linux CD1, you will see that the YaST of the graphic interface has been started and the current system information is automatically searched. select the language and simplified Chinese. after initialization, the system lists your hardware information and hard disk partition information. click "modify" to change the following items:
-Mode: Select "new installation" or "upgrade installation ".
-Keyboard layout: American keyboards are used in China.
-Mouse: select the mouse setting closest to you (no USB scroll wheel is available, which is also a disadvantage of SuSE hardware support)
-Partition: partition according to your preferences. If you do not partition, you can leave space for SuSE installation in windows, and leave the remaining space for SuSE installation. suSE9 supports NTFS format, so files in your windows system can also be accessed.
-Software: Add/delete related software packages. If you are familiar with GNOME, adjust the "software" option. The default desktop system of SuSE is KDE. GNOME is not included in the default installation,
-Start: Modify the start mode, select the default start system (SuSE or another operating system), and select boot loader.
-Time: The time is set to your time zone. Here is: Shanghai.
-Language: Simplified Chinese
-Reset to the default setting: discard all the above changes and return to the initial setting value of the system.
