●● Do-No-Evil Saturday – Part I: OpenSUSE Praises and Developments


Posted in GNU/Linux, Mandriva, Novell, OpenSUSE at 12:43 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz


First of all, happy Thanksgiving to our American readers (we forgot to say this earlier on). It’s this time of the week again when we say nice things about Novell and we shall begin with OpenSUSE.


There is a decent review of OpenSUSE 10.3 over at sys-con.

Andreas announced that the results of the YaST survey had finally been published. They are based on the feedback from approximately 10,000 users.

Here is another nice review of OpenSUSE. It actually comes from a site that has roots in Mandrake.

Here is an even more enthusiastic reviewer.

The Linux Foundation’s survey ought to be analysed more carefully in days to come. The raw data is out there and SJVN has had a first go at it just before Thanksgiving. It looks good for desktop Linux. █
