-[Suse] is a German LinuxDistribution that has the same sort of importance in Europe as RedHatLinux has in the rest of the world.
-
-Most seasoned users find it pretty awful as far as distributions go. Its configuration tools interfere with manual tweaking a lot of the time, and the standard install doesn't include things like a [Compiler], make(1), locate(1) and others that really should be available on every
"real" system. By clicking a few buttons in the installation process, a power user can easily install the proper tools needed to compile and build open source tools. The latest version of Suse includes the 2.6 kernel, KDE, Gnome, and has full support for the AMD64 architecture.
-
-The official capitalization of the name (SuSE,
SUSE, Suse, etc) has been changed so many times that it's best to just refer to it as [Suse] out of resignation as much as out of spite.
-
-It's now owned by [Novell], so expect it to either become the base of "Novell Enterprise Linux
", or to gain a lot more relevance in the future as a product of its own merit, with NetWare services running on top of it.
-
-If you want a European beginner friendly distro, [Mandrake] should be a much better choice. It is also one you're likely to find help with among [WLUG]gers -- [Suse] never had much of a following in NewZealand.
-
-[Suse] also has a popular Enterprise Linux distribution. Several third-party software vendors only support Redhat Enterprise and Suse Linux, so in these situations Suse would be a reasonable choice.
