My relationship with Linux started with evaluating SuSe 8, Mandrake, Lindows and Redhat some years back. Linux was not about a free ride for me, so I purchased the lot. After a testrun with all of them there was no doubt in my mind. SuSe was way ahead the rest of the pack for my usage. I then kept on through the 9 series thinking: Hey - this is more expensive than Windows ever was, but the cause is good. They sold out to Novell and i dropped SuSe without a blink. It WAS a sellout and I'm still not happy about it. Even less so when Novell started levelling with Microsoft. Running OpenSuse 11 with KDE 4.1 from factor as an secondary testground I must say: Suse is back. It reminds me about the enthusiastic feeling I had with the original up to 9.3, and I think it is as good compared to the pack as 9.3 was. Feelings set aside - this WILL be the distro of 2008. None of the other big ones can match it.
Problem is - I still got that bad taste of Microsoft and the sellout in my mouth as well. I'll give OpenSuse 6months and I'll see if that makes it go away. The bad taste, that is...
