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.

Does Redhat do anything right? First they messed up gcc and now they neglect basic clipboard functionality. How much programming went into bluecurve, about one weeks worth of work? I switched to the ocean dream desktop theme but kept the default icons. I like how my Gnome 2.2 desktop looks and I don't have any problems with the desktop speed. My only problems were with the evil crime lords at Microsoft who have forced my hand to recently become a Redhat Member for $60 and to never use Microsoft products again. The nice thing about the Linux platform for developers is that no programming efforts are discontinued due to market shift, because others can pick up and leverage the source code at any time. In the future, that task will even be made easier. I think that some standard components should be the same for everyone's PC but I don't like the idea of a world where everyone has exactly the same system. That's another story, and so is the story that vendors should be required to publish information so that all software vendors have equal opportunity to write drivers for it.
