IMO SuSE is a great distro and is only getting more mature with Novell's growing experience in the Open Source market. I myself run SLED 10 and OpenSuSE 10.2 (and previously 9.2, 9.3, 10.0 and even the crippled 10.1). So what were your reasons
I have only one reason: the excruciatingly slow package management system. Overall, OpenSuse is very nice. However, it does not matter how nice it is if one must wait half an hour or an hour every time one does anything with packages. In my opinion, if the package system is unusable, the distro is unusable. Strange, I used Suse from 6.0-9.2 and the package system was great for all those years. Why did the developers decide it had to be changed? Do they not realize how much worse it is than it used to be, and worse than practically every other distro?
