I like SuSE. They don't give away ISO's however. They don't give away the packaging scheme for you to make your own CDs either. You can download everything on to a disk drive, you can install over ftp (yuck), or you can go buy Personal or Professional (people on this list would want Professional). You would do that unless you want to purchase Enterprise or SuSE Desktop. SuSE Desktop comes with Code Weavers (to run MS Office programs), and a bunch of other desktop goodies, and I am assuming SuSE "Desktop" speaks for itself as to its usage. I think for the price alone I'll stick with RH Fedora. If you want SuSE you can buy support. Their people are very nice and easy to work with. You can email them support questions all day long if you have bought a box set of SuSE (no charge for the email support....at least that was the way it was about a year ago). Fedora....free ISO's. :-D Wade -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-admin@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Mike Vanecek Sent: Wednesday, November 05, 2003 9:23 AM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [OT] Novell takes over SuSE (was: "Red Hat recommends Windows for consumers") On Tue, 4 Nov 2003 16:34:22 +0100, T.
