Posted in GNU/Linux, HP, Novell, OpenSUSE at 1:16 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz
The release of OpenSUSE 11.0 is approaching. We gently remind readers that despite all the pretty colours in the Qt-based installer and the flexibility complexity of YaST, the distribution hasn’t sufficient added value to work better than counterparts, many of which are free and decent.
Here is what the Washington Post has just had to say about Novell’s SUSE:
Novell’s infuriatingly complicated, cranky implementation of Linux is almost guaranteed to send a beginner reeling in horror, or at least distaste.
The opinion about Vista isn’t particularly flattering either, but the author has, on numerous times in the past couple of years, expressed satisfaction with Ubuntu GNU/Linux.
You don’t need SUSE. Your peers, colleagues, family and friends probably do not need it either. I happen to keep track of OpenSUSE on a daily basis, so this is not an impulsive and spontaneous rant. SUSE is not the market leader. It lost momentum after the deal with Microsoft. █
