Star Moving from Debian To SuSE Linux and Back Again
Linked by Leo Spalteholz on Wed 9th Jun 2004 07:59 UTC
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.

SuSE install tools

I partially agree with you about the lack of officially supported tools to install software

What do you mean by that? Yast is a very good installer: it does all the dependency and download management you could ask for, it has decent interfaces both in X and on a text terminal, and it's under the GPL now.

Access to apt or urpmi repositories is no use if the packages in there aren't made for your distribution.
