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 must have used almost every OS in the world, ok exept for
some rare ones, i did not instantly love Linux but i can not live without it these days. Suse Linux is a great distro but its really made for desktop and it to commercial for me.
But from a business perspective you can not get anything better.
Mandrake and Xandros, even Lycoris (whoops where is the article??) and Linspire are trying to do that to.

ps. i am running the Linspire 5.0 alpha right now and its the best kernel 2.6 based distro out there. It reconizes every hardware piece know the men and it fast.

Suse is german (ok before they got bought by Novell) and its the same as german cars, overall good but sometimes it uses to many electronic and bloated feautures that often do not work well in the beginning. With Novell behind Suse and Ximian in the house i think Suse will become the most important operatingsystem (besides Windows) in the IT industry in a couple of years. I bet Novell and SAP are talking right now..
