A few weeks ago, the OpenSUSE Project announced the release of OpenSUSE 11.0, the "community" edition of SUSE Linux, Novell's commercial Linux distribution. Here it's taken for a test drive.

I would disagree with you as a former network administrator and opensuse user. I use a mi of sles and opensuse for servers and have had a great amount of success. As for samba, its the same samba on both machines.

opensuse 11.0 is 3.2.0 and
fedora 9 is 3.2.0pre3 (assuming it was undated after release)

Well then explain how I'm supposed to use the broken interfaces in KDE which always worked in the previous OpenSuse distros from 9.3 until 10.2 to set up shares and connect only certain users to those shares with proper permissions.

I fail to see how it's done like it used to be. I reckon that Fedora would still work like it always has like that.

I don't care about command line and all that rubbish. We don't have a lot of trained IT staff, we need stuff done fast. Don't give me that crap about CLI being quicker, or easier or anything. It just isn't. You point, click and go. That's it. The point is to minimise mistakes not make things complicated. Whatever happened to keeping things simple.

EDIT: Fixed spelling
