SUSE Linux 10.1 Screenshot Tour

An anonymous reader writes "Distrowatch reports - Following some eight months of testing, the openSUSE project has finally released the long-delayed and much-awaited SUSE Linux 10.1: 'After lot of work and several delays, we proudly announce the availability of SUSE Linux 10.1. As usual, we ship all the latest open source packages available at the time. We want to give special mention to Xgl for 3D acceleration on the desktop, NetworkManager for getting painless WiFi access everywhere, the completely open source AppArmor 2.0, and the full integration of Xen 3 in YaST.' OSDir has some great screenshots of the fresh SUSE Linux in the SUSE Linux 10.1 Screenshot Tour."

Re:Looks nice!

While I have to agree with the AC to some degree -- most of the stuff is fairly underwhelming, I don't really need the windows to distort on moving, and I don't ever use alpha transparency in Windows XP -- what makes it all worth is that it apparently offers Exposé functionality. That not only looks cool, it's also extremely useful and something I wish I had in Windows. (BTW does anybody know of a good, modern tiling window manager [wikipedia.org] for Win XP?)

Why the heck is this guy moderated as a Troll? Seriously, we need to stop giving mods to people who don't understand that dissent is not a troll. Trolling should be reserved specifically for people who say something without support such as, "Suse sucks." If I made a comment that said, Suse sucks, you could Troll me. The difference is that he attempts to back up his argument, whereas a troll just says it to start a fight. Just because he doesn't give great reasons, doesn't mean he's a Troll. As it is, I'll probably get a nice Troll or Offtopic for this post, but seriously the modding abuse needs to stop.

If you don't like what they say, leave a comment and argue your point of view. I'm tired of Apple and Nintendo fanboys running around modding everyone who says that Apple or Nintendo is horrible and has support for their argument. Obviously it's not the case here, but it's the same thing. The guy made his point, if you disagree then say so, don't mod it Troll. /rant

Keep in mind that the best trolls appear to be backing up their arguments so that more people will bite.

To be frank, I do not see where the parent poster has backed up his arguments. "bloated and over engineered"? How? Is SuSE slower than other distros? Does it consume more memory? More disk space? They should "dumb it down" a bit... How? It is a problem of the number of applications installed? The number of options in the menus? The selection of applications that should be changed to include simpler ones?

And like most like most good trolls, the poster adds a competing project into the mix so that even more people will bite: "Ubuntu is way too much a software for hippies by hippies". Again, without giving any explanation.

Disclaimer: I do not use SUSE. I did not moderate the parent post. I am not sure that I would have moderated it as Troll, but I do not disagree either.
