Scope:
This writeup is to share some thoughts on how I've setup my 'perfect desktop' running GNOME and openSUSE 11.1. There are other varieties found on Internet, each with a slight difference in setup and choice of tools. It's all good as long as you are getting the most out of your Linux system!
Also, this is not an exact step by step tutorial but meant to give pointers & tips that you can use in your openSUSE setup.
