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.

This persons knowledge of RedHat seems very superficial. He didn't even take the time to find out that Gaim (the default messenger) has in fact a Jabber plugin.
Further more while there is no Adobe Acrobat, PDF-files can be read by euther xpdf or ggv, both of which are installed by default.
The mp3 thing is a non issue, solved by 1 download. And this is so well known these days that the file really can't be hard to find. (I wouldn't know, I use ogg)
Finally the copy/paste thing : some apps can't use the normal [CTRL]+[C], for example the terminal program (this kills current program), so these apps switch to [CTRL]+[SHIFT]+[letter] for ALL their shortcuts. A bit confusing but logical nontheless.
