I'm sure everyone is sick of reading reviews of Suse 9.1 by now but perhaps this one is a little different. This is not an ordinary review in the sense that I don't provide lots of colourful screenshots, or ramble on endlessly about the included software versions and other trivial things. Written from the point of view of a Debian user trying to switch to an "easier" distribution, I concentrated on how Suse stacks up compared to some of the traditional Debian strengths.

It is pretty funny to read an article that starts off how world + dog would be bored by the the gazillion of SuSE 9.1 reviews by now, but then the seasoned Debian user, who presumably read through all these SuSE-reviews as well is incapablbe of installing video support. If the author doesn't manage to do so, at least he could have picked any of these SuSE reviews for reference, since even the lousiest of them would have pointed him to the Packman packages. No need to search the web with his pre-knoqwledge. Doesn't sound too seasoned after all, imho.
From a two-page "review", I expect more than lamenting about how the appearence of an icon does or does not make sense + how the author is not able to get his video playback working for 1.5 pages, where he should have been able to.
Yast isn't the fastet beast on earth, then again, what are you people doing, really?! "Normal" people don't install/uninstall software on a daily basis. There are only so many applications you will need and then some -- so what's the point?! Btw, when complaining about speed, it's always nice to know the system specs.
Please stop posting empty submissions, they are even more annoying than another dozen SuSE reviews.
