------------------------------------------------ What Suse could DO BETTER:
- SIMPLE documentation. IMO, Wikis are HORRIBLE means of documentation except in some unusual circumstances (and i can't think of a good use case for a wiki, to be honest).
There are quite a few nonetheless. Anything that is community based, but especially for communities of non-techie users. As far as what the wiki looks like, you can't blame the tool, you have to blame the users or the admin.
Kubuntu's online manual is a dream come true: http://doc.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/desktopguide/C/index.html
I think it might have been better to compare the SUSE manuals to the Kubuntu ones instead of bringing in e.g. the opensuse wiki.
- Yast's software management is simple to use and effective but *incredibly* slow compared to apt-based tools. Orders of magnitude slower.
That is clearly the achilles' heel of 10.1 - and even in this early stage, 10.2 is already a vast improvement.
And finally... my [very personal] conclusion:
i'm convinced. After 8 full years of being a die-hard Suse user, my laptop is going to stick with Kubuntu.
My sole experience with Ubuntu started with a kernel crash of the installation system on 6.06 - SUSE has never done that, so I'll personally stick to SUSE, probably for quite some time to come. /Per Jessen
