"Linux Bible, 2008 Edition: Boot up to Ubuntu, Fedora, KNOPPIX, Debian, openSUSE, and 11 Other Distributions"

(If you are presented with a graphical login screen instead, log in as
that user now.) Here are a few things to help you get started using openSUSE:
 Desktop applications??”The default openSUSE install is configured as a desktop system
that includes a set of easily accessible desktop applications. On the desktop, try the Office
icon to open OpenOffice.org to work with documents, spreadsheets, presentations, drawings,
Web pages, or a variety of other content types. From the openSUSE icon on the panel,
select from among dozens of applications to try them out.
 My Computer??”A My Computer icon on the desktop enables you to see removable
media and mounted partitions, and also gives you access to your Desktop, Documents,
and public_html folders in a Konqueror window.
 Reconfigure your computer??”Get to the YaST administration tool by selecting
Applications???System???Administrator Settings from the openSUSE menu. You can
reconfigure your system hardware and software from the YaST Control Center that
appears.
If you want to configure your desktop (change backgrounds, screen savers, or themes), use the
KDE control center as you would with any modern KDE desktop. You can launch the control
center from the openSUSE menu (select My Favorites???Configure Desktop).
