ubuntu vs opensuse
,----[ Quote ]
| So really the big basic difference is that Ubuntu is a simplified cookie
| cutter distribution designed to not overwhelm the new user with choice.
| openSUSE on the other hand is the polar opposite offering choices for every
| aspect of Linux computing. openSUSE is very scalable and it can be as easy or
| advanced as one needs. You could install openSUSE on a dozen machines and
| none be the same if that was your wish, whereas install Ubuntu on a dozen
| machines and it would be exactly alike except some might not be able to
| connect to the internet.
|
| As stated at the beginning, there really isn't much of a comparison between
| these two distros as they are so vastly different in target audience,
| capabilities, and philosophies. If you are a brand new Linux user perhaps you
| should get your feet wet with Ubuntu as openSUSE might seem a bit
| overwhelming. After a coupla weeks and you begin to feel claustrophobic, then
| branch out to try openSUSE. If you have any Linux or advanced Windows
| experience, then you might prefer the functionality found in openSUSE.

Battle of the Titans: Mandriva 2008 vs openSUSE 10.3

| Overall Winner
|
| In our little just-for-fun comparison, we the judges find that Mandriva wins
| by 4 categories to 2. But to the original question the answer would be to go
| buy the Mandriva Power Pack or try PCLOS or ALT Linux in which advanced power
| saving feature do work out of the box. Also, YMMV.
|
| However, don't forget that both openSUSE and Mandriva are both nice distros.
| This little article is highly subjective and you may not agree. That's okay.
| I love them both.

| Winner: Mandriva 2008.0

| My default distributions is PCLinuxOS and I am not a fanboy of either Ubuntu
| or OpenSUSE.
| I have tried to be as impartial as I can, but I am human after all and can be
| biased.
| This comparison is written purely with people new to Linux or for people who
| wants to get things done easily.
| Advanced users may find it lacking or might even differ with my views,
| apologies to them, but I am basing this for average user.
