[CS-FSLUG] SUSE again

[Nathan Thompson]

I didn't have to tweak, I don't know why this would make such a big difference 
but I installed the NVidia drivers and set them up and now SUSE is quick as 
lightning :-) . I'm getting speed as good as I've gotten in any other 
distribution but strangely enough Mandrake gave me the same speed with or 
without the NVidia drivers, as long as it works though I won't complain :-) .
