Novell SUSE Linux Enteprise Desktop 10: Check It Out
,----[ Quote ]
| Installation was actually shorter than XP and just as easy. Booting takes
| a bit, but after that, you're in a GUI environment that most any
| experienced Windows user should be able to navigate with relativelyl
| ittle trouble.
|
| The OpenOffice, Firefox browser and Evolution clients are smooth and
| polished enough that I'd be surprised to get cranky user complaints.
|
| And it's a money saver. Not just because the software is cheaper, but
| because you can roll it out on machines that are considered robust for
| XP. Those same machines will need to be upgraded or replaced to make
| Vista happy, but they run all of SUSE 10's bells and whistles just fine.
