SuSE Linux Desktop 1.0 Reviewed

Posted by timothy on from the screenshots-o-plenty dept.

LinuxLasVegas writes "SuSE announced a new release today titled "SuSE Linux Desktop 1.0". The distro is built on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8.x technology and comes with Crossover Office 2.0. Mad Penguin has the first review of this release. From what I read, it seems like a good release, but for the $600 price tag, I'm not sure if it would be worth the jump..."

    it may be that they're paying royalties to SCO.
    years ago, the cost of a desktop UNIX(tm) included about $200 royalty to AT&T.

    For that price phone support should be included. You just dont get the same results when emailing back and forth...

    I always tell my friends to email me when they have network problems. ;-)
