12/04/2002CNEt: Editors' ChoiceWow! SUSE Linux 8.1 received a "very good" at CNet's latest Software Head-to-Head review, beating Red Hat Linux. "SUSE Linux 8.1 is an extremely friendly choice for Windows users. If you're switching or dual-booting, make this distribution your first choice", is article's resumee.

The review summary:

"SUSE Linux 8.1 offers the best-looking Linux desktop OS around. It's also easy to use and well organized, and it performs adequately. Its installation process is so smooth and uncluttered, in fact, that this alone merits a chance from Windows die-hards. With two versions--the $75 Professional package or the roughly $40 Personal version--SUSE 8.1 is far cheaper than Windows and is even more economical than the $129 LindowsOS. 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."
