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.

I partially agree with you about the lack of officially supported tools to install software, but I believe that SuSe does this on purpose: this way they don't have to take responsability for what hits the apt servers.
But I have also good reasons to believe that apt has SuSe' unofficial blessing: there is a link to apt in Konqueror and this time it is quite remarkable that the component 'base' contains the same identical packages as the official CDs.
