SuSE, openSUSE 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."

KDE and SUSE 10.1

I've been impressed by SL 10.1, KDE is very fast and feels nippy. That one thing Window has over Linux it's nippyness but SL 10.1 is very responsive. The only down side to SL 10.1 is the boot time, I don't know what goes off during the first part of the boot but it's slow.

I also preferred the boot and login screen of 10.0, 10.1 seems to have lower quality pictures without the nice SUSE animation. Xgl is buggy with KDE, works fine for the most part but the desktop and some windows don't let you click them at all, this used to happen with kompmgr as well.
