If there are two things in this apartment that I don't like, that would first be the dog upstairs which barks at 5 AM almost every morning, and the fact that UPS almost never deliver things on our door. They never bother to check if we are in. The SuSE people were very kind to send us the Professional version of SuSE 8.1, but unfortunately, I received it 10 days later after it arrived in the apartment's complex. But now we got it here, we gave it a spin for almost a week, and here is what we think about it.

A very solid review. I disgree with some of the things with which Eugenia finds fault, but it's a matter of taste. It's really getting to be Coke vs. Pepsi in the Linux world, and I guess that's a good thing. Since I can't afford a BMW, the closest I can get to quality German engineering is the bi-annual SuSE release. <grin>
One question: does the install support existing LVM volumes? 8.0 saw the LVM, allowed you to mount volumes during the install process (/dev/volumegroup/usr, e.g.), but then refused to use them and complained of insufficient disk space to complete the installation.
(Related plaintive cry: when will LVM become integral? AIX has been doing it for years!)
Thanks again, Eugenia, for an excellent review.
