This is a desktop comparison of Red Hat Linux 9 and SuSE 8.2 Professional Edition. We have used Red Hat Linux 8 for all our work since last fall, and installed version 9 as soon as it became available. However, we have not been fully content with Red Hat, so we gave SuSE 8.2 a try when it became available this month.

I'd just like to point out a few things:
1. Visual taste is extremely subjective. I personally think Bluecurve is really quite good.
2. The author obviously hates GNOME and loves KDE. Again, I personally do not feel the same way. If you can't name a single place where GNOME is better than KDE, you obviously haven't used GNOME enough to make useful comments on the subject. And, to be fair, the reverse is true, too - don't talk smack about KDE until you've used it for a while. Both have certain advantages, and if one had some that were so mind-blowingly great, it would have "won" by now.
3. Gaim has Jabber support, and I thought it was included with RedHat.
4. He implies that RedHat doesn't include "alternate" apps like KMail. I did the "everything install", and damn near any non-commercial app I can think of is there. The only one missing is Bluefish.
That is to say, take all of this with a grain of salt, especially if you disagree with the author on points 1 and 2. I do, and it's no surprise I like RedHat 9 a lot. To each his own - I do think SuSE 8.2 is pretty good as well.
Otherwise, it was an OK article. It seemed to be more like a "why I like SuSE better than RedHat" article than a proper review, but informative nonetheless.
