Generally it is an automated install. Though there are points at which you have to enter information (like computer name or workground name) that might confuse someone.

I agree totally with you about SP1. I do all the updates by hand myself. Which these days kind of is a drag seeing as they put a limit on the download speed of the updates. I use to be able to download 20MB of updates off the update server in under 30 seconds. Good old times...

Enjoy the move to SuSe, I think I will be sticking with Windows for awhile. I have other computers that I will install *inx on sometime!
