I have gone back and forth for days now on whether to run openSuse 10.2 or Ubuntu 6.10 on my Latitude D620. What it comes down to for me is just lack of documentation. Ubuntu blows other distros out of the water when it comes to how-to's on setting up laptop features (stupid dell wireless card). I also think it is much easier to customize than Suse. This is just from my own experiences. I think that ubuntuforums.org is what keeps me on ubuntu. If openSuse had a forum (suseforums.net doesnt even compare) as active, helpful, and with users who push development (trying new features, etc) than I would use it in a heartbeat, till then "Hello Ubuntu."
Hello!
Well, then to be 100% sure, I guess you should buy from either of these:Originally Posted by FLPCGuy

Moderation is very strong in these Forums.
Soon you will find yourself not being able to create any posts.
As a result, you will be "forced" to request a "delete my account."
Maybe the best Suse online community is here:
SuSE Linux SupportForums
Great howtos, wiki, faq, forums, users, contributors.

ok so i installed suse 10.2 on the custom box in my sig (it's actually my main pc, I'm nice enough to let the whole family use the better, sadly I have to keep ms on that b/c my over conservative, tight ***, afraid of change step father won't change because anything free can't be as good) any way, IMO it Kicks the S*** outta kubuntu (let the flamewar begin ) there's a wonderful gui for everything, and i mean everything, if you want to set up xgl/compiz, there's even a gui for that, (i went the route of nvidia/beryl with no xgl, and nvidia's built in thing, and still, I only had to use the cli for about 4 lines) and it's soooo much mor epolished, it feels snappier, the forums aren't at all unfriendly, maybe slightly slower, but still VERY helpful, if novell started advertising or getting the word out I wouldn't be suprised to see this rated as the #1 distro above ubuntu, I dont understand over half the hype around ubuntu personally, it doesn't seem any better than most os's out there, nothing truly innovative about it, just a WONDERFUL community, (admittedly it counts for alot) but as far as the actual OS goes, openSUSE 10.2 is my os of choice, it just works, it's beautiful I LOVE that new menu (especially now that I know it's skinnable) (k)ubuntu has a LOONNGGGG way to go in feisty to win me back, if it's even possible
Love running state of the art for free rather than a bad kde copy for hundreds, ONCE YOU GO PENGUIN NEVER WINDOWS AGAIN!
I have to admit openSUSE's KDE blows Kubuntu any time. Snappier and more polished; kickoff by default... It is a great KDE distro. I am not sure how good it's gnome is, but ubuntu's is much more polished IMO.
