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.

Apples and Oranges

Both Suse and Debian are good distros. I have used both and I realize that they both have strengths and weaknesses. Suse is more challenged in the software selection and Debian is a bear to set up. Comparing these two distros is comparing apples to oranges as both have different target user bases. Suse is for the home or enterprise user who wants a painless install that is up and running quickly while Debian is for the geek.To compare these distos is irrelevant and surely a waste of space...and certainly my time.
