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 have 128mb of RAM and it told me he needed a swap partition to run the installation program. :/
Running OpenOffice and FireFox with SuSE9.1 it is really slow...I mean a lot of disk accesses when I have to switch.
Also my fan is running often even with only a terminal windows open...
My specs are:
celeron400, 128mbram, toshiba satellite
(My swap is located at the end of my hdd)
I don't have those problems with NT4...
Can't upgrade to 256mb...128mb is the max.
In my little experience running SuSE9.1 with 128mb is frustating.
