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.

"I wouldn't use fedora for a 'serious server' either, though I'm not sure why apt-4-rpm would be any better if its unsupported."
That is precisely the point I was trying to make. I gues I wasn't sufficiently emphatic. In fact, this is the point that I am making all along. Suse doesn't have a good, OFFICIALLY SUPPORTED, software installer. Debian and Mandrake do.
Unfortunately, I cannot switch distributions right now as the server that I am tasked to support runs well, even though it makes simple things such as the above difficult for me, and the company had standardized on Suse prior to my recent arrival.
