SuSE, openSUSE 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.

Oh, ok. Well I am pretty new to apt myself, but you can install it for SuSE as well, plus synaptic. This isn't an obscure procedure either, there are RPMs for it. Whilst I did do so, I didn't actually install loads of stuff with it subsequently, because apt + synaptic happened to be the last things I wanted on my system for now. Though, as I take it from a SuSE forum it works fine. You can edit the list of repositories to your liking, I simply copy/pasted mine from some user entriy in a thread, I don't know whether this specific one is "any good" by common standards, it holds like 10 (?) repository entries.
