If you want to get hold of QT1.42 + KDE 1.1pre1, you will find that the SuSE
rpms are not ready... yet while the Redhat ones are much easier to get hold
of.
Having said that, the Suse versions of the RPMs (talking about KDE) are a
bit nicer and probably they are too busy right now getting 6.0 out in
English, and there are small revisions for rpms every second day, so one can
probably wait for a couple of weeks more to get the same thing nicely
packaged.
I would stick with SuSe for many reasons despite RedHat been the standard.
Standard doesn't mean better, if you are not convinced have a look at
Windoze.
Cheers,
Arturo Martinez

Could I get some feedback from the people on this list re: how much of a
problem/issue this is? As I said before I don't currently use SuSE but am
planning to try it out. I had gotten the impression somewhere that SuSE
was actually better at staying on top of things than Red Hat, but this
indicates otherwise. Comments?
