The SUSE impression fades a little
I was in total awe of SUSE 10.2. I liked its stability, performance, improvements to OpenOffice, YAST2, security, default fonts and above all the default theme and artwork. I was all praises for SUSE in my comparison of SUSE with Ubuntu. My only problem was package management in 10.2 which resulted in several broken packages and finally me shifting away from SUSE to a lesser knows distro PCLinuxOS
A lot has changed since then, PCLOS has replaced Arch as my default desktop OS. However, the love for SUSE still remains in my heart and when 10.3 got released I simply had to try it. SUSE 10.3 came with a bag full of goodies, notable among them are
1. Guru repository merged with Packman ,
2. Novell enhanced OpenOffice 2.3; it should be noted that even a later released Mandriva 2008 supports OpenOffice 2.2.1,
3. Giver - file sharing utility,
4. 1-Click install for non-OSS software, and above all
5. The improved YAST2.
These in themselves are overwhelming.
