SUSE Talk

I tried OpenSuse 10 and I didn't like it. I don't like Yast the package manager that Suse uses. Apt-get is by far the most powerful package manager. That's why I'm with Ubuntu.

I have decided to start a series of threads specifically for technical help for other Distros...the Distro is listed in the thread title. This is primarily for Ubuntu users who test or use other distros and feel most comfortable seeking help in our own community. In no way does this superceed the help you should also be getting from the perspective Distro., in fact I encourage you to be as active in their forums as you are here and post ideas, knowledge and solutions here to provide a reference point to share, reference links are encouraged.

I use opensuse 10.1 w/ KDE on my gaming rig. Easy install, Raid setup was a breeze, and just a clean fast distro. Plus Battlefield 2(no punkbuster), Counter Strike: Source, and Day of Defeate: Source all played faster on 10.1 than ubuntu.

I used to have 10.1 on my Insporion 8600 but, I couldn't get the wireless to work so now I use dapper drake. It works flawlessy , everything was detected and the monitor button thingie works too. Also you can't beat the one cd install with a stick. My computer still runs alot hotter than it did w/ windows(I'm not the first to say this) tho.

This is why I think Opensuse is better than ubuntu:
Raid support at install
Custom package selection at install
KDE w/ kubuntu just SUX


In my computer:
AMD Athlon 3500+ (FX-60 just newegged!)
ASUS A8N-SLI 939
4gb H-D Cosair ram
nvidia 7800gtx 256mb
ide 120gb seagate
Twin Sata 38gb Raptors(Raid=0 w/ Suse)
