I will be the first to admit that I'm not a linux genius or even an experienced user but Suse has always been high on my list for distros. It runs great on my Thinkpad X60s with full wireless support out of the box. I have an enterprise copy but that's just because I felt like supporting the cause. Ubuntu would be a close second for me. The polish on Suse is nothing short of what you would expect from a corporate distro and it makes Redhat look cheesy to me.
Hi The IT Guy,
Thank you for your comment, I completely agree with you that SUSE is outstanding Linux distributive. No doubts. But every thing has it's own benefits and disadvantages, in regards to openSUSE it means that this OS is the most suitable for Desktops and/or laptops only. It's my opinion of course. :)
With havin so much written content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright infringement? My blog has a lot of unique content I've either authored myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any methods to help reduce content from being ripped off? I'd definitely appreciate it.
Of course I like your web site, but you have to take a look at the spelling on several of your posts. Many of them are rife with spelling problems and I find it very silly to tell you. On the other hand I will surely come back again!
