SuSE 6.4 Announced

Smoking writes "It seems like SuSE 6.4 has been announced at SuSE's german site but not yet at their US site.
It includes an (hum!) enhanced graphical installer and new stuff like XFree 4.0 (not installed by default). The release date for the german version is March 27th and the little mathematical function on the box is cooler than ever. " They also recently announced that they will be working with the folks at SourceForge for some of their new development.

SuSE making inroads in the North American market

[Saxifrage]

This is pretty cool for us American users, because it demonstrates that SuSE is actually making progress in taking the American market domination from Red Hat.

In other words, SuSE may not be just for Europeans any more. There are some distinct reasons that I like it:

• Flexibility
• A unified installation/administration tool
• KDE rather than GNOME (I prefer it)
• Less expensive (at least here)
• More packages

So -- SuSE is potentially aiming to take that market domination. It might just teach Red Hat that they're NOT the only game in town, even in the US, anymore.
