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.

"Well my daddy said, i can go to www.quicktime.com, www.real.com and even to www.divx.com, to download the needed player/codecs in a perfectly legal way. The legality is in my opinion questionable with this ripped codecs."
That's what your daddy said, fair enough. But as is with most juveniles, did you actually *listen* to your daddy and followed the links he supplied you with? No.
If you had done so, you would have found perfectly legal and (free) offerings for Linux as well. You need not install Real Player, it is preinstalled with SuSE. As for Quicktime, there are legal freeware players, I didn't care about much, but you will find them on tucows.com, for example. Divx.com holds version for all operating systems, free.
