Thinking about going to linux

I've also used SUSE and never had to make & install.

I didn't realise you were one of the anti Ubuntu brigade but your "REAL Linux" comment says it all.

If you want "REAL" Linux then stop using a GUI...

As for the games comment, if you know some games work, why tell him that none do? You may as well tell him that nothing works because you can't use *NIS

I have used the make and make install commands in open suse many times. This only happens when you download the binary of an application and compile it yourself. Not everything comes in a package still, so it does happen.

ie4linux is a prime example

You don't have to use make and make install for ies4linux, all you do is extract and run.

sorry should have explained, rug was busted, I had to download the binary and compile myself and it worked that way. so you still have to use it, because lots of things in linux don't always work as intended
