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.

People have said this somewhat already, but I thought I should clarify this. People have different tastes. It is pointless to base a review on something almost entirely subjective (in this case desktop environments). I understand that some people like KDE. I understand that some people like GNOME. If you like KDE, then use it. If you like GNOME, then use it. If you don't like either then, find something else.
In reality there isn't much point in comparing a linux disto in it's default form to another. Very few people leave things in a completely default state. I understand that this person likes SuSE 8.2, but that doesn't mean it belongs in an article. It belongs more in a discussion group where people can argue their points one against another.
Perhaps an interesting article to write would be a summary of arguments taken from the discussion groups comparing all distros in terms of software included, speed, responsiveness, stability, completeness and app stability. The nice thing about a comparison like this would be that it would be from a wide range of people rather than just a single individual.
