Novell Announces SUSE Linux 9.1

Posted by michael on from the debian-still-rules dept.

ravydavygravy writes "Novell today released details of the next incarnation of its linux products, Suse 9.1, based on the 2.6 kernel. It will come in both 32 and 64-bit versions, and includes a LiveCD version, to help people convince their Windows-loving friends to make the switch. It'll ship with Gnome 2.4.2 and KDE 3.2.1, as well as demo versions of the text processing application Textmaker and the spreadsheet application Planmaker (from Softmaker - but do we really need another office suite?). Samba 3 will also feature in the default setup."

    Why not a new office suite? Should we just "settle" for an M$ OFFICE clone and be done with it? Could it be possible that someone might have a new innovative product that is better? Should we just stifle all thoughts about a better product?

    How long do I have to wait for a desktop linux solution that will install out of the box onto a #$&@ serial ATA hard drive?
