I just tested Suse 8.1 via live eval CD. (I need a bootable Linux to get rid of Windows in school :)
Never used SuSE before; one suprise, it looked GOOD. Mandrake 9.1 should really have original artwork, like suse and redhat. Now as it is, mandrake looks boring, maybe someone could take a project to create mandrake themes for 9.1 release (i know, not a big deal to change themes, but for new users it would be nice eyecandy). Menu items were much better organized too than in Mandrake. Some cleanup for them for 9.1?
