It must cold in hell today because I am going to say something bad about
opensuse and on top of that I'm going to say something good about Ubuntu. so
please forgive me.
opensuse is what would have been 4 years ago the "inside" version of what SuSE
was producing and although the SuSE team occasionally let a bug or two past
the release testing, most releases through 9.x, where the best to be had.
With opensuse10.x , YOU has been trashed for a Redcarpet\YOU hybrid and we
can't seem to get a stable update system, but when we do it will be the best
available. we can't kid anyone this is a developers version as for SLED, it
runs and updates with rock solid performance , for that I'm willing to pay.
Ubuntu LTS is free, stable and has; "The Ubuntu software repository contains
thousands of software packages organised into five 'components', on the basis
of the level of support we can offer them, and whether or not they comply
with our Free Software Philosophy. The components are
called "main", "restricted", "universe", "multiverse" and commercial." as
well as the fairly stable "update manager" system.
However, comparisons of Ubuntu LTS and openSUSE are an apples to oranges
comparison and is what I think both Justin and Ted mean by their comments.
When you write and ask for a copy of Ubuntu they send the latest release not
the LTS. When you go to download, all the pointers start with the latest
release, not the LTS. How many versions are there between 6.06 and 7.04 ,
sounds to me like the billionare is giving away what Novell MUST sell to stay
alive, can you say "Microsoft school of marketing".
