[Am-info] Linux shoot-out: Red Hat 8.0 v SuSE 8.1

[Fred A. Miller]

SuSE Linux 8.1 offers the best-looking desktop Linux distribution 
around. Easy to use and well organised, it also performs adequately. The 
installation process is so smooth and uncluttered, in fact, that this 
alone merits consideration by Windows die-hards. With two versions -- 
the £59 (inc. VAT) Professional package or the £39 (inc. VAT) Personal 
version -- SuSE 8.1 is far cheaper than Windows and is even more 
economical than the $129 (~£82) LindowsOS 3.0. We'd like to see better 
support for the GNOME desktop environment, but SuSE makes Linux 
palatable for any experienced Windows user and surpasses Red Hat 8.0 in 
both installation and interface. If you're ready to switch to Linux, 
switch to SuSE.
