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.

If someone is unhappy with Debian doesn't Fedora seem like the next logical move? You got your apt-get, eye candy, new packages and multimedia repositorys (no deps to worry about) all of which he complained about. Sounds like a fit to me. Fedora doesn't put "experimental" or "unstable" packages in its distro, It's kinda like Debian testing but with security updates. I don't know, everyone plugged thier distro and what seemed obvious to me (because of the articles complaints) wasn't mentioned.
