openSUSE 11.0: ‘Smooth Outside, Rough Inside’

Most reviews – so far – of openSUSE 11.0 have been quite positive, but that doesn’t automatically mean everybody is happy. TechReview offers some criticism of the latest offering from openSUSE. “openSUSE 11.0 is a difficult system to qualify. Highlights include good availability of current packages and YAST GUI configuration tools for some advanced features. However, these advantages are largely eclipsed by a chaotic, dysfunctional package management system and marginal performance. New Linux users with more complex network configurations or challenging hardware may be forced to use openSUSE due to its unique innovations in GUI system configuration. Yet, experienced and inexperienced users alike may find themselves increasingly frustrated by the grave lack of refinement in what is an otherwise capable Linux distribution.”
