See their page which discusses the programs that are included and makes a
price-based comparison. They even pre-install applications like Inkscape.
By the way, I installed Picasa half an hour ago. Couldn't be simpler. Click
on the download link in Konqueror, YaST2 opens within the Web browser (as a
sub-pane), enter root password and just hit OK/Accept. Done. New icon in the
KDE kicker. Works flawlessly. I will now be waiting for Google Earth althugh
I feel guilty having proprietary software on my system.
The following is at the front page of Digg at this very moment:
