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.

i myself still cant really believe about how crappy all the suse stuff is
there are user guides of updating suse between releases, via yast and apt-rpm... cause u cant just add another source to either and upgrade with the knowledge that it will update the system and not fuck something up
yast feels from the root on fucked, made as a configuration / package manager without any real-useful-logic, rather suse needs (as any distro) such a manager, but they dont seem to care about it
packages are sloppy too, dunno if its still like that, but the apache packages required a couple of X libs, for some reason
the list of 'why' questions exceeds the list of rational answers =)
s/why/crap therefore =)
for me, suse is the biggest crap i've ever seen, the only thing its good for is installing linux and X without any tech knowledge or so
and suse has been and is commercial... so figure out
