476649 2006-08-07 07:41:00 Good review with honest comments on the areas where the Novell Enterprise Desktop is lacking.

Small point though, the Novell Enterprise Desktop and the OpenSuSE desktop are two different entities. Similar to the commerical Red Hat Enterprise OS and Fedora, the community driven OS. The free community versions are the test beds for the commercial versions and not all of the bell's and whistles of the commercial versions may be included in the free versions.

476650 2006-08-07 08:10:00 From my 'experience' SusSE 10.1 installs with KDE as the preferred desktop (I vaguely remember an option to have Gnome instead). Nice and clean it is... bling it isn't, MSoft have it all over SuSE in that dept, even taking into account XGL.

Great out of the box, but that's where the experience ends.

No point in having a decent LCD monitor if the version of the Nvidia Nview configuration is severely nobbled... and won't retain it's settings between reboots.

Even nicer to have a DVD writer to find that you can only write to CD.

Installing software/updates... don't go there :(
