I mean, what is its main claim to fame?
for me it's the config tools (YaST, but others also) being available in any variations, that is bare bone server, desktop...

use SuSE since 6.x (20 years?) and tested most other main ones

I hate to sound "me too", but these are also the reasons why I have stayed with SuSE over the years. I went looking for a Linux distro almost the same day IBM announced it was discontinuing OS/2 (around 2001/2002, iirc, but maybe earlier), which I had been running since version 2.0. After a quick comparison of features, I rather quickly settled on SuSE 6.3, and I have been running SuSELinux/openSUSE ever since. Over the years, many things have changed, but one thing has remained constant -- YaST. There are other configuration tools, of course, and these are excellent -- but for me, YaST has always been the single feature which sets SUSE apart from all the other Linux flavours out there. I would be remiss if I failed to mention the great support from the opensuse community -- developers/maintainers and end-users alike -- especially on this mailing list. Yes, at times the signal-to-noise ratio becomes somewhat less than optimal, but a little patience takes care of that. (And no, I am most definitely *not* trying, and do not wish, to re-open the discussion in "that other thread" :D ). -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
