You've heard it all before, right? Every year some wannabe Nostradamus is running around telling anyone who will listen that we are going to bear witness to the year of Linux on the desktop. This is the year it will shine. This is the year it will destroy Microsoft. This is the year the pope will start using Ubuntu. This is the year I'll shave the hair off my palms. We've all heard these claims before... at least once a year, and I'm sure 2006 will be no different. I don't recall hearing it thus far, but the year is still young... either that or I've started to automagically filter the nonsense. Review continued here What do I think? Well this version of SuSE single handedly made me decide to look elsewhere.
I agree. SuSe's install is very intuitive and very logical. Easy as installing Windows, yet, with a more robust package selection.
I can't fault the installation or eyecandy. Arguably, SuSE has the best installer of any distribtion. If only they could sort out the general inconsistancies and poor repositories. I might not have looked elsewhere. For a Linux newbie, SuSE is a great place to start. It's easy to use, functional and productive. However once I got the hang of things, I felt the need to move on. Now I use Kubuntu/ubuntu exclusively and feel a lot better for it.
