Linux.com reviews SUSE 10.1, and concludes: "With SUSE 10.1, Novell has embraced and extended its role as the leading desktop distribution. Given the amount of eye-popping eye candy and playtime 3-D effects available on this desktop, it's easy to forget that Novell is all about bringing Linux to the corporate - not the home - desktops. Yes, the money is all in the server market these days, but after the revolution Linux will inherit its rightful share of desktops, too."

As I said alreasdy before, I think SuSE 10.1 is just fine. Atleast it looks good and is easy to install. If I had to choose between Ubuntu and SuSE, Ubuntu would have no chance. But, I'm not switching from my Gentoo to SuSE even though I wish I could just use some precompiled distro instead of having to compile everything myself. Why? Well, first of all, I hate SuSE 10.1 not having the proprietary ati-drivers or nvidia-drivers. Secondly, it didn't enable DMA for my drives even if I did specify them on in Yast2. Had to do that from console. Third, it's way too much of a hassle to get DVD and mp3 playback working, and even then the mp3 playback doesn't work in all the apps. And there's no Rhythmbox for SuSE 10.1 to be found. Or atleast I didn't find it anywhere. Fourth, they have really messed up the panel menu. It's a complete mess. Just combine to the default GNOME one and the SuSE one. SuSE's monster is a deeply nested thing with everything spread all over, while the default GNOME menu has all the internet related stuff under Internet, no messy submenus or such..
But again, these are all just my opinions.
