Opensuse 10.3 (KDE) Review

Over the past few weeks I decided to try out the latest version of SUSE. I found it to be a reasonable alternative to  Kubuntu, however in a few areas it is a bit wanting. Its package manager for instance insists on only updating the repository caches when you open it, causing  a long delay in startup. Its control center (Yast)  is pretty nifty, I liked the boot loader configuration module, but i found the /etc/sysconfig editor somewhat like the windows registry(!). I didn’t really care for Kickoff (a replacement for the Kmenu) but appreciated the option to switch to switch back to the more common K menu.

Usability:10/10

Default theme:7/10 (I’m not a fan of green)

Package management:7/10(Hate that 5 minute startup)

Overall: 8/10
