Hey Zonker,
Speaking from my own experience what made me move from Red Hat to SuSE (back into 9.x ) was:
1) YAST: This is a great tool for someone who wants to keep control of the machine without wanting to touch zillions of configuration files. By the time I wasn't used to the configuration schema of linux and YAST helped me a lot configuring an authentication server, a firewall, a router and also setting up all the developemnt workstations on the company I used to work.
2) Even with the YAST to help you, the organization of the configuration files was easier for me to understand and use. Also the files had tons of comments to help me go through them and understand the parameters.
3) Default instalation wasn't full of unuseful sofwares. It just contained the basics and adding new sofware was easy.
4) Forums: I found all the help I needed in openSuSE community. Everyone tried hard to help new comers on forums (old forums.suselinuxsupport.de) and IRC channels. It felt like home into SuSE community.
Hope this helps,
Gabriel
My 2 cents: * Offering the 2 (3?) most used desktop (GNOME, KDE3 and KDE4) and giving the user the option to choose in the install time * Many GNOME, KDE, kernel developers working on Novell * In the KDE4 side, giving the best "implementation" of the new KDE Regards, Luiz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help@opensuse.org
