Features:
  • 1 DVD contains all the software you need to install openSUSE
  • openSUSE 10.2, formerly known as SUSE Linux 10.x, is the same as Novell's commercial version but without support
  • The openSUSE DVD comes with thousands of packages, but should you want more there are many more available in the online repository, and there are thousands more packages available in the openSUSE Build Service
  • Compiz is a window manager taking advantage of the amazing capabilities of OpenGL. This new window manager developed by Novell engineers provides true transparency (even for playing video media), wobbly windows, an amazing desktop cube effect (as displayed in picture), and much, much more
  • YaST is there to ensure that even the most demanding tasks -- such as setting up a HTTP Server, Configuring your Network Card, handling BlueTooth Devices, managing Software, or even configuring your Monitor and Graphics Card -- can be accomplished trivially with an easily-accessible interface, and simple walk-through wizards

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good, but highly incomplete
Good buy for the money. ($5 including shipping and handling) Unfortunately, they crammed what they can (on a single CD) which takes up 650MB. A decent Linux installation these days with all the bells and whistles will exceed 3GB. This means you have to download all your applications directly from the OpenSuse web site. This is certainly possible, but it is painfully slow. The YaST updater is very easy to use, but you have to use it a hundred times (at the cost of 5 minutes per pop, if you have ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Better than Most with some Kinks to be Ironed Out
Recently I had the opportunity to try the Suse 10.3 Live Disk. Just to make sure I wasn't missing out on anything, I went ahead and installed it to the hard drive of a Lenovo Y410 where the Windows OS had gone south.

As to the good points:

Installation was a breeze. Put the disk in and tell it to install. Took about 20 minutes total, give or take.
Slick interface. Really nice main page with bright colors and a minimum of fussiness. Probably one of the closest-to ... Read More


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - OpenSuse 10.2
Worked as advertised. openSuse was a easy install and very user friendly for a first time linux user. I'm using this OS now to write this review. The online support community is very good, they have a great irc room on freenode that is very useful for having question answered as they pop up. The chat room in set up for default when you open up the chat client "Konversation" I gave it 4 stars as I have not tried all flavors of linux out there; (and there are a lot) but this is a good starting point ...
