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 agree with you.DEBIAN GNU/LINUX,FedoraCore,Slackware,MepisLinux(Based on Debian) etc. are free!Free as freedom!You don't have to be club member,you don't have to preorder or to search ftp sites so maybe you'll find them.When they released you download straight!I don't understand why ppl like to buy Suse and Mandrake?Let's take from both distros away controlcenters then there is no use from both.when you use those distros you learn Suse and Mandrake you don't learn Linux.Mandrake community or official the difference is community was beta or rc.Right?then why they sold to the people?Because the noticed people are not downloading and testing so they made up to release the beta or rc under name of community and they sold it and as well they made the users to test it!Then they released the official version to sell to the people again!When we compare to prices and stability package management and so on,I say DEBIAN GNU/LINUX FEDORACORE(FEDORACORE uses SElinux PERFECT!)SLACKWARE!MEPIS,KNOPPIX etc.
