A week with SuSE 10
,----[ Quote ]
| SLED 10 is good looking, well designed and very usable. Novell has added
| some excellent features that make the Gnome desktop just a little bit
| more friendly to use. Surprisingly, the extra overhead didn't put too
| much strain on my lower-end IBM Thinkpad notebook.
|
| The obvious question to ask, however, is how the Novell-Microsoft deal will
| affect SuSE's market share, both among the free software community and
| within the corporate sector.
|
| If I was to hazard a guess I would say that we'll see significant drop off
| in the use of SuSE by the free software community. In large part because of
| the relationship with Microsoft but also because something like Ubuntu is
| every bit as good a desktop for most users as is SuSE and it has less of
| the baggage SuSE now has.
|
| On the corporate front it will take time for the deal to play itself out
| but Novell provides a compelling desktop Linux option in SLED 10 and
| perhaps together with the assurance of not being sued by Microsoft might
| well be a good corporate desktop replacement.
|
| For myself, I am sticking with Ubuntu for now.
