SuSE, openSUSE Here's a review of SuSE 9.3: "Right now I'm looking at a SuSE 9.3 installation which offers me everything I'm used to plus more. It's hard to say if and when I'll switch, but it sure looks tempting. In more than one way SuSE feels so much better than Ubuntu, and it's hard to resist all the small details and finishes Novell put into the product."

RE: beagle why not...

why use beagle when kat is a kde application?
I'd guess at the point in time when Suse started to finalize the 9.3 release Kat was not close to anything usable, if it was started at all. Beagle on the other had had been in development for a long time, and had a lot of hype going for it. Was it a good or bad move from Suse, I'm not sure. I'd guess it both helped and harmed Beagel. Gave it more exposure, but also a reputation for being not too stable(deserved or not, doesn't matter).

But now you see Kat catching up, and it look like Mandriva are going to use it on their next desktop release.
