Hi all,
While I usually hate threads such as these I can't
help myself but respond. Both RedHat and SuSE are
making incredible strides in bringing Linux to the
masses. Here is my unqualified opinion having used
just about every major distribution:
Redhat is great for the newbie. It does everything
for you(practically that is). I was not very fond of
5.0 or 5.1 for that matter...but 5.2 seems quite
good(Stable?). I found it harder to move on from
newbie to intermediate+ using it though.
SuSE is what I choose to use now. I find it quite
easy to install for most things. Sound is not as easy
to install. But X(with Sax) could not get any easier.
I have also found that SuSE pushes you more towards
learning the ins and outs of your system...Definately
not a bad thing. And the 450 page book is incredible.
Kudos to the writers. Lastly...being biased as the
KDE documentation coordinator...It installs KDE by
default(ducking).
What I would like to see is the wars to stop between
all of the dists and perhaps have them all move
towards some sort of a standard. But that seems to be
a pipe dream...Every *nix OS I have to work on does
something different. It makes it fun but a pain in
the buttocks at times as well.
Well...those are all the thoughts I will bore you with
ATM. Thanks for reading this...those that did. Just
remember kids:
Linux=Linux
it all starts with the same kernel...
