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.

So how is this different from other reviews? All the ingredients are there:
1) installer
2) First boot, desktop slick or not
3) hardware trouble and fixing that
4) missing apps and/or codecs and fixing that (or not)
5) Post-install configuration
6) Distro-'war' in the comments
Yup, I'd say this is a pretty conventional review after all. Choice of distro is a personal thing anyway (one of the reasons there are so many..).
Also, I think it's quite useless to write a review after a couple of days of use. How a distro works after being installed for a long time is much more interesting, in my (not always) humble opinion, but those usually turn into stories longer than Lord of the Rings and contain the stuff you don't really care about.
Oh well.. Guess there's nothing that can be done about this. Or maybe there is, how about a rating system for articles?
