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.

However, comparing any version of Linux to FreeBSD on the same hardware, I've observed that FreeBSD is the most responsive and secure of the popular operating systems available for the x86. Darwin looks very good also!
When evaluating any operating system, my main concern is stability! Of course, it is also my opinion that any version of Linux would be better that anything from the company in Redmond, Washington, (we don't need no stinkin' memory leaks). Linux is no longer an experimental OS, it has made it to the desktop and deserves the recognition as a "main player" in the OS market. I've used SUSE 9.1 Pro and found it to be a very full featured operating environment. That said, I'll probably pick up a copy of their latest offering to play with.
