openSUSE 10.2 (Review)
,----[ Quote ]
| I have mixed feelings about openSUSE. On the one hand, it feels like
| a polished system, and that is reflected from the installation to
| YaST. Yet, if we take away YaST for a moment, then openSUSE looks a
| little weak. It feels sluggish, and has a user interface that isn't
| necessarily better for the user compared to a standard GNOME
| interface. It has the cost of deviating from the norm, while
| gaining very little from it. Compare it to, say, Ubuntu or
| perhaps even Debian, and openSUSE really doesn't stand very well.
|
| Put YaST back in, however, and openSUSE has a fighting chance.
| I would go so far as to say that YaST is the best configuration
| utility I've used. Unfortunately, I don't think that's enough -
| Ubuntu manages to keep GNOME looking normal, and seems to work
| better out of the box, from little things such as ejecting USB
| sticks to big things like package management. If you're not
| going to miss YaST, then you probably want Ubuntu. If you
| still want the big box of options, then PCLinuxOS might have
| the answer. openSUSE 10.2 is a good distribution, but I can
| think of at least two others I could recommend instead.

Ubuntu seems to beat Opensuse quite regularly these days.
