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.

Why do we care what the 'expert reviewer' du jour thinks? It's always the same.. Most 'reviews' of a distro are actually reviews of its installer, with maybe a bit about installing packages.
I suppose if he is compiling kernels he can't be totally clueless, but I for one find it hard to take any review seriously when it's written by someone who can't get his mouse wheel working. Especially after using linux for "four years."
It's almost as bad as the pridctalbe stream of "try this distro!" posts. What, are you waiting for someone to try your beloved distro and heap praise on you for recommending it? If there's one thing less useful than yet another ewak review, it's a one line endorsement by a random stranger on the internet. Thanks for trying to help us out though
I really shouldn't stay up all night, it makes me cranky
