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 does not encourage 3rd party software repositories
Which is a bit of a shame. They still do provide instructions on how to do it though:

because of the destabilizing effect incorrectly compiled software can have on their products.
Anyone using non-official packages has to be aware that that might break things and that resulting problems can't be blamed on the distribution.
