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.

We got some new machines with the SIS 648 chipset and Pentium 4 2.8 GHz chips. RH 8 and 9 install perfectly with no problems. SUSE 8.1 wouldn't install. The kernel crashed every time we tried. Contrarily to what the author said, on my machines, if I right-click on a Panel Icon and then select properties, there is a line labeled command that tells what application the icon controls. I haven't tried KDE, but I'll give it a shot. I never liked the CDE look and functionality, but find it far behind gnome. However, perhaps KDE has moved on from its origins. I don't understand why the review was mostly a KDE vs. Gnome comparison, when it was labelled a RH vs. SUSE comparison. I can select the KDE desktop on RH, and I would hope that SUSE includes Gnome, although since it won't install on my machines, I can't exactly check it:->
