life before and after opensuse
by mimoune djouallah on Thursday 03/Apr/2008, @14:58

i used to be a sad linux user, after enduring all the wick laughs and sometimes compassion remarks from my Windows friends, when they saw me going back to the cybercafé in the cold nights, walking alone, stones in my pocket in case I’ll get a surprising meeting with all those fierce dogs, because a fu..... dependencies is missing, I still remember when I tried to download gnome planner, after three times of unsuccessful install due to weird dependencies problems, i ended up in a act of high hopeless to download the Wondows install.

When a day, a good man in the dot, told me there is Opensuse who has rpm repositories, just get the dvd install, then no more pain, no more harm, search the package you want, download the files to flash disk and go home proudly.

Now, i am a proud linux user, i keep downloading and installing the latest and the greatest linux software, without fears of dependencies and incompatibilities.

thanks, opensuse, thanks build service, GOD bless you.

Well, I wouldn't go as far as referring to higher beings of any persuasion ;-), but true indeed, openSUSE made my linux life definitely easier. (Am I happier due to openSUSE? Dunno.)

I've been on SUSE since 7.3. Tried some other distributions along the way but always came back. Since Novell took over, despite all the fears, it only got better. Much better!

They actively work on KDE and provide a very polished KDE desktop with Qt and KDE system tools. The development process is open to the community. There is an impressive amount of official and community repositories. The distribution supports easy inclusion of both official and community based repositories.

Find it very difficult to imagine myself moving to any other distribution any time soon.
