I suck at writing review in the traditional sense - but I did want to post about my experience with openSUSE 11.0 after using it for a while. Many of these points may not apply to you, since they reflect my personal usage habits.

First off, I just want to say that openSUSE 11.0 is simply, hands-down, the best Linux release I’ve ever installed and used! I also think it’s one Linux distribution that could be a 100% Windows replacement for the “average user”, and I think it’s the only Linux distribution that the same “average user” could install, set up and configure without ever touching a terminal window at all. I use the console a lot, as I personally find it faster and more convenient sometimes than going through a GUI application to do the same thing. For example, I use zypper at the CLi more often than going into YaST -> Software Management, especially if I know the package name I’m looking for - it’s just faster for me.

I posted earlier that I’ve slowly become a GNOME user after years of loving KDE. It was openSUSE that helped push me in that direction. The GNOME implementation in openSUSE is hands down superior for me habits than anyone else’s.
