Talk, Rumors, X Versus Y 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.

Perhaps this would work better as an editorial explaining why the author chose SuSe over RH. The author obviously can see merits of both distriubtions, but it seems he carried a few preconceived notions into the review. The intro section suggests that there was already some dissatisfaction with RH9 at the commencement of the review. Also, the review in several spots addresses the specific preferences of the author (especially when it comes to the issue of DEs) rather than the hypothetical needs of some sort of "joe user" character. (I suppose criticizing DEs leads to quite a bit of flak as we saw with Eugenia's GUI review)
