abhiram 0 Report post Posted May 18, 2006 Hmm ... what's the point of this discussion? I've heard that SuSE is the easiest distro, but I'd prefer something more un-windows like, if you know what I mean. Give me the CLI any day .Gentoo, Slackware rule.

xboxrulz1405241485 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2006 I Love SuSE not because it works and feels like Windows but it's easy and powerful at the same time. Which other distros don't offer. SuSE Linux provides me with everything I need. Easy configurators and a great CLI environment.Also, YaST is the best thing ever created by Novell.xboxrulz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Easy configurators and a great CLI environment.  Also, YaST is the best thing ever created by Novell.  xboxrulz  it's the best of linux if we talk about windows-like system, graphical interface, powerful ready to use features and applications and the most similar graphics, but it will be decent if we talk about powerful tools and distros, and i think it will be one of the woriest distros if we talk about the origional linux distros and the linux-like distros, i don't use it, i used it once and i stopped it later, i felt like i'm a beginner that uses linux for the first time every time i start my machine, that's why i replaced it quickly by ubuntu, i find it more suitable for me.but anyway, i find suse a good solution for linux beginners, but a way or another it's linuxxx. the very earlier distro of linux "X" distro, whatever its name is ages better than the latest thing called windows xxxx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wutske 0 Report post Posted May 22, 2006 I think because the Yast(2) tool is very powerfull AND easy. It offers a bit the facility people are used to have in windows, yes has more advanced and powerfull settings available.Not only is it powerfull, it also looks realy good the way it comes (some other KDE distro's don't look that appealing without some tweaking).xboxrulz, you're completely right, it doesn't operate as windows, only because it operates and windows doesn't I think that if you realy want a windows->linux clone, you'de have to get Linspire (= lin-- / lindows).

Give me the CLI any day .Gentoo, Slackware rule.Just like me I am a happy Slackware (Current) user. Sometimes SuSE makes your life hard with its heavily patched kernel. First time I recompiled a SuSE kernel I used vanilla (just like in Slack) and after reboot I had problems with submount Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
luizzeross 0 Report post Posted July 8, 2006 Well, I'm don't recomend SuSE this much to beginners, but the YaST tool sure is a "blast in the bucket" !! There is many other more "beginner like" distro. The only tool that can be compared to YaST is the APT tool from Debian. Right now I'm on Open SuSE 10.0 in the WindowMaker manager.
