SuSE Linux Professional 9 3

2 stars (Very disapointed in this one...) - SuSE 9.1 pro was very nice which prompted Me to check out SuSE 9.3 pro. I was surprised to find out most of the standard features in the command prompt were taken out by Novell. Pine Mutt fd_locate_pkg apache, now has apache2 which no one uses nmap lynx Some other stuff also, some you can directly find the download and ./configure ; make while others SuSE requires many rpm dependancies which starts to become a bit of a headache. A few other 'Novell Nightmare' touch ups include ssh which is a bit of a nightmare using their version to tunnel and network with, and their ssl and apache2.conf files If you are a KDE and/or Gnome user, and like to chat with a friend on msn messenger thru Gaim or Kopete, good luck keeping O.SSL updated. I never had this problem before on Fedora RedHat or Gentoo Alot of dependant rpm's needed. Being this rpm dependant may as well use fedora Red Hat. At least they have a good rpm manager. I can understand wanting to simplifing things but they shouldnt have dropped their 'personal edition' as in 9.1 build, and make their 'pro' watered down. The sad thing is, on Novell's offical site for 9.3 they admit to taking out these tools and programs from the shell or 'personally customising' to give it their own touch, which helped screw up alot. They did however add alot of unneeded fluff which you dont need with linux unless you just want to chew up cpu's like the pretty menus and such, but if your going with a pro linux build your just in the command prompt most the time anyhow. I do hope their new 10.x build is better but Im not going to waist My time to check it out. Going back to R.H. I did give it two stars because if your a home user and nothing more, the 9.3 is great! But if all your going to do is home use and not program or admin, go with something cheaper thats set up more specifically for a home user such as Xandros linux made by Debian which is also a bit cheaper for th...

Linspire Five 0 CNR Edition

4 stars (Do not but this product from Amazon or anyone else except Linspire!) - The product is great and loads in about 20 min. (except for the CNR activation). It is simpler to use than the latest versions of Windows. If you buy this product from Linspire, it seems that the activation of CNR is automatic. If you buy it from anyone else you will think you are trying to activate a MICROSOFT PRODUCT OR WORSE. Then after I jumped through all of the hoops, I get this email from the Linspire Team: "It's been several days since you've signed up, and we've noticed that you haven't yet purchased the CNR Service." A good product - just don't buy it from here! 3 stars (3 stars because it has bash, the rest I don't like) - As far as linux goes I would not recommend this distro. reason 1- It is to dumbed down to be all that good,It is harder to work with then suse or mandrake. reason 2- It was ok for them to call themselves lindows to upset microsoft but now they are mad because a distro out there is called freespire. come on people get a life, that is what linux has been about sharing the code for the better of everyone. reason 3- They charge for what most other distros offer for free to me they are too close to microsoft. now for the positive notes. 1 bash is still the login shell and that alone offers a lot of power. 2 kde is still a great desktop to work with. 3 the most important thing it is still linux so that is still better than M$ or apple. But if you are really looking for a easy to use linux distro without all the hassel, of cost get mandriva or suse, even debian and it's many followers is a better chioce. As for linspire I am glade they are trying to make an easy to use desktop to challange Microcrap,but they are going about it the wrong way. 2 stars (Why are you paying for free software??) - Linspire had a great idea: to bring Linux to the masses who are tired of the OS from Redmond. Great...that'll work. But the way in which Linspire has tried to achieve this...
