Hey all,
One of the questions I am asked frequently: What makes openSUSE unique among Linux distros?
I think it'd be good to have a list of benefits / advantages to openSUSE. Note, not looking to say we're "better" than other distros, even if we are ;-) just how are we actually *different* since we ship about 98% the same software?
Obviously, I've given this some thought, but I suspect that more heads are better than just mine on this one. As we're approaching the 11.1 release, I know that this question will come up again quite a bit.
Thoughts?
Best,
