SUSE Linux Enterprise 10, a Closer Look
Tripperfish writes "Mad Penguin's Adam Doxtater has published an in-depth review of SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10, Novell's alleged 'Vista Killer.' From the article: 'SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 is a very capable, industrial strength desktop which is ready to take on basic desktop chores in the corporate environment, and for the price you simply cannot go wrong. ' The review comes complete with screenshots and Flash movies of the install, new GNOME interface, and Beagle in action."
On Gentoo 2.17 vanilla sources have the broadcomm driver available, which works tolerably well with encrypted wireless networks. So try Gentoo.
"Novell employs more Gtk/Mono hackers than anyone else. Miquel De Icaza the founder of the Gnome project and Mono is pretty much the honcho over there."
Yes, and Miguel is kind of an idiot in a lot of ways. Under his direction it took an unbelievable number of years to achieve even basic stability so the the panel wouldn't keep crashing. Let alone usability while always seems to get ignored in favor of the latest cool and more bloated tech bandwagon to jump on. I mean, corba, give me a break, it got eaten by its own mother and Miguel still didn't take the hint. Mono... what can I say, blech and double blech. Gconf... cripes.
Miguel's main talent is self promotion, pure and simple.
When all you have is a hammer, every problem starts to look like a thumb.
