The recent preview release was quite impressive. Unfortunately, I cannot live without my speshial repositories.
For one thing, the install went a lot quicker than
SuSE 10.1 -- at least for me.
I already have most of what it offers through Ubuntu, the only major difference is even with Ubuntu, I still had to fsck around in order to get some things to work, so it lacks polish there.
IMO, it's also lacking in polish when it comes to general onsistency / looks. They're even anal about the splash screens of popular apps such as the Gimp, or Open Office. It's just the little things, there is nothing really specific.
I was surprised that they had Gaim's auto-replace plugin setup to replace myz spehsials englishes to something readable.
But, I'll continue using Ubuntu with XGL / Compiz, and "The Slab" (new computer menu), which I lifted from GNOMEs CVS.
I'd choose SLED over Ubuntu in a heartbeat when it comes to working in a "professional" evironment though.
Also; those complaining about memory usage, should find out how it works. I found it extremely reasonable.
