SUSE LINUX Professional 9.3 Update Description:

SUSE LINUX Professional 9.3 Update review:
5 stars (I love it) - I use to be a Mandrake fan, But I really love this SUSE 9.3 the best. Evrything works and did on th first install. I am using it now and no blue screens of death.



For you new linux users, don't believe the hype about Mandrake being more user friendly. SUSE 9.3 is a great Linux Distribution.
5 stars (Very complete -- full features) - I have been using SuSE Linux since version 7.3. I have upgraded the 7.3 to 9.0 the last time, now 9.3 looked very promising. Installation is a breeze. Lots of software including development tools, games, and server functionality. I have been a happy SuSE user for over four years now. I hope they keep up their good work since they got acquired by Novell and won't make major upsetting changes for their licensing and usage. Corporate greed, you never know...



I am an avid Microsoft developer, administrator, and user (MCSE, MCSA, MCDBA), but if you want to get into Linux world, I assure you that you would not be disappointed if you get SuSE Linux 9.3. As they say, "Have a lot Fun!"



Cheers!

3 stars (Not up to the old SuSe standards) - I've been running various versions of SuSe Linux for several years now. It seems a shame that their level of quality appears to be suffering now that they are working for the Novell bottom line.

I do professional development, and while the distribution is relatively OK, it was surprising to find that the development system as distributed doesn't seem to know much about threads (certainly not the debugger). If all you want is a client side system, then this distro will probably work for you. If you are more serious and in development, try another distro. Even Fedora Core 4 looks better.
