Being with Linux for quite a short time now, I heard others talking about
setting up pieces of hardware under Red Hat a lot esier than under SuSE. On the
other hand, people talk about SuSE being "the complete OS". I am using SuSE 6.0
and indeed I have hundreds of applications on my HDD put there by the standard
installation - but I realize I don't need about maybe 60% of them.
I was wondering if anyone could tell me why (if) is SuSE a better choice than
Red Hat? In fact what are the differences between those two leading (I guess)
Linux OS's? Of course SuSE has YaST, but also Red Hat has a System
Configuration tool which is pretty cool (so far as I've seen). Can you convince
me that I made a wise choice betting on SuSE? ... (by the way, what SuSE
initials stand for?)
Dan.
PS. By the way, I've seen programs like Matlab which is said they're made for
Linux, in parantheses added RedHat, Debian, Slackware for instance. Does this
mean there is a posibility a program made for Linux not to run on SuSE?
