It has been a long road, but you have successfully installed SUSE at this point (see Figure 1-33). Pat yourself on the back if you are a brand-new user to the world of
Linux. You have done a lot of new things by installing SUSE—not the least of which
is that you have begun a journey on which you'll learn lots of new ideas and
philosophies, as well as giving you a stable operating system to use.

If you are an experienced Linux user, you should be quite happy about how much
SUSE has come along from other distributions and how easy it has been to install it.
Don't worry, however; as with everything Linux-related, you can make it as easy or
as hard as you like, and you will see how in later chapters.
Just to whet your appetite, Figure 1-34 shows an image of what you will see once
your system has booted up to the system proper.
As this is a new installation with default settings, typing in your username and password
and pressing the login button automatically loads the K Desktop Environment.
The version of KDE that SUSE ships with has been optimized to integrate with the
SUSE system, and you will see how well a job the developers have done in Chapter 8.
Enjoy, play around with the system, and as the developers in Germany say: Have a
lot of fun!
