RE: [SLE] SuSE vs. Redhat - Any better for me?
I was a Redhat user until I start met SuSE. I have to admit that at first I
struggled trying to administer my SuSE box but after reading the books that
comes with the distro and playing with the product I finally came to the
conclusion that SuSE is far superior that RedHat.
YAST1 and YAST2 are the best administration tools for Linux.

1) Firewalls 2) File servers - Samba 3) Faster DNS service than my ISP 4) Network monitoring tools and better support for low level networking 5) Backups 6) Probably others if I sat and thought longer
What I'm interested in knowing is whether those of you that know much more than I will ever know about SuSE Linux see any significant difference in the ease of use of SuSE distributions vs. RH. As a self-confirmed
Please note that I never got beyond redhat 6.2 The big plusses Suse has over Redhat (IMHO) are 1) ease of install 2) ease of configuration (yast/yast2 is easier to use (for me) than linuxconf 3) more stuff (suse 7.2 is 7 CDs worth of goodies (well over 2000 apps) which apparently is more than redhat has. 4) KDE 2 (not sure if redhat these days ships KDE2, they probably do) 5) no Kutzu however as for the 6 items you list above I don;t think any of the 2 will have a significantly better implementation. I've heard lotsof good things about SuseFirewall, but Im still using a firewwall script I hacked togther (out of a redhat firewall script) a coupld of years ago, an it works fine for me, so I haven't checked out suse firewall yet. Backups I do through amanda, which is part of both suse and redhat . Howeve rif music is what you like best, you might appreciate all the music related stuff that's part of KDE2 (arts and related). Not being a musicain myself I've never did anything serious with it though. If you want ease of use, I would go for Suse/yast2/kde2 If however you are already familiar with linuxconf/gnome/redhats install procedure you'llprobably get annoyed at the fact that familiar items are located at unfamiliair places.
