SuSE 8.0, KDE 3.0 first look
People have been wondering why a conservative company like SuSE would go with two x.0 versions, theirs and KDE's, to form the core of their latest distro, The Register's Thomas Greene writes . And I must say that on the basis of my experience with x.0's I was ready for some comic frustration when I installed SuSE 8.0-Pro the other day.
Ah, but it was a delightfully boring affair which went off without a hitch. YaST2 has been sharpened a bit since 7.3, with cleaner splash and boot screens, and a Web-style links menu for installation options. I chose XFS again, chiefly to be fair to Mandrake which I kicked to the curb in a recent review of their new 8.2 distro.
