SuSE, openSUSE On October 22, 2004, Novell released SUSE Linux Professional 9.2 (abbreviated as SLP9.2 henceforth) targeted at the home user and Linux enthusiast crowd. Since I am already using SUSE 9.1 for my daily work on my IBM laptop, I was quite eager to check out 9.2. SLP9.1 is already a very polished Linux distribution, with tons of software ready to go. So here's a SuSE user's review of 9.2 after several weeks using the new version. Update: Also see some 9.2 screenshots with KDE and Gnome.

SuSE still has problems with laptops
by Greg George on Wed 5th Jan 2005 21:29 UTC

I am very impressed with SuSE on the desktop, but for laptop support things are still messed up. On my Inspiron 8200 I can't get my built in WiFi to work and I can't close the lid with the nVidia drivers. This is one of the reasons I switched over to OSX, things work as expected and there is no reason to fight with the configuration.

Linux is getting there but it's still a ways to go before it's useful for folks that don't want to fool with things to get everything running.
