Suse 9.1 Reviews?

Posted by Cliff on from the sharing-your-opinions dept.

Bruha asks: "There have been several reviews of SuSE 9.1 lately in the online press. However I'd like to hear what the buying public has to say about Novell's first release of SuSE since buying the company. I'm currently typing this article from SuSE 9.1 x86_64 and I have to say past a few quirks I'm really starting to love this distro and admire how polished it has become since 8.2 my last SuSE purchase. What are other's opinions of the software after trying it out and what problems and new things have you discovered? And if you're sticking with it after a move from another distro why did you decide to stick?"

    Suse? Isn't that one of those distributions that either costs money or ships non-free stuff? Then my opinion is "it would have to be ten times as charming as that arnold on Green Acres, know what I'm saying?".

    We can all agree that windows always does work better. I use only linux (aside from at school) so don't start flaming me, but as far as I can tell. Windows actually is much more easy to use,install, customize, and all around run. Don't talk to me about the millions, exageration, of patches you have to download in order to make it remotely stable. Last time I installed RedHat 9 it told me to download 90+ patches within "up2date", which is not very different. And tell me, honestly, with all truth. When just starting out, as a newbie Linuxer, what one was it easiest to install java on? Windows or Linux? (and get it working in Mozilla).

    I hate it when people talk about how Linuz is SO MUCH FUCKING SUPERIOR to Windows. No, for a regular ,commercial, customer, it's a fucking nightmare. But if you have the patience, and certain built up anger/loathing for Microsoft, then Linux is beautiful.

    Just my two cents, or in conversion to CAN. that would be about 3.14 cents.

    I think the problem is that Suse is too complicated for Negroes.
    Nigs should stick to Appleor better yet "Speak 'n' Spell".
