I read a good review of it and thought I'd give it a go. Very nice. Very nice indeed. Beautiful installer. Easy to add the community repositries and then easy to add compiz and nvidia stuff. All worked without having to fiddle with xorg.conf. Best thing with the name SuSE on it in ages. (Hi guys. Long time no see. I've been in Apple land the last few months. Hope you're all well.) |

I've got suse 11.0 on a few machines. I took the plunge and updated my work machine, and I've got it on a laptop and a test machine at home. There were some gotchas. I had a weird problem with the boot loader installation that required a repair on 2 of the 3 machines. Come to think of it, I saw the problem precisely on the 2 machines that have multiple OSes installed. I also had to explicitly install some wireless packages and manually run the "install_bcm43xx_firmware" command before the wireless would come up, but after having done so, it's a nice solid kde 3.5 experience. kde 4.0 looks good, but It's not at feature parity with 3.5 yet. Overall, I'd have to give the edge to ubuntu better, especially for a laptop install, since it "just works". On the server side it's a draw, each having good solid strengths, Suse has the edge on kde though, so for real kde users, I'd still recommend suse. |
