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.

Debian and SuSE are really just different flavours of Linux. If you can do one thing with Debian, and cannot do the same thing with SuSE -- you're probably lack basic Linux/Unix knowledge. That's just fine, and there's nothing wrong with it. You use whatever distro you find comfortable. The only question is: why go public with your problems/lack of knowledge? Debian is really a fine distribution, but most people agree, that their users are very arogant, and not really educated. This article just adds to this negative perception.
For all those of you, that find it really entertaining telling whole world: "I can't do it!", please remember, that every OS/Distro is as good, as its user is.
