Comments on: Technical Review Calls OpenSUSE a “Beast”, Recommends Other Distros http://techrights.org/2009/04/18/technical-review-opensuse/ Free Software Sentry – watching and reporting maneuvers of those threatened by software freedom Fri, 25 Nov 2016 09:41:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.9.14 By: guy lafleur http://techrights.org/2009/04/18/technical-review-opensuse/comment-page-1/#comment-62175 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 01:20:28 +0000 http://boycottnovell.com/?p=8987#comment-62175 - I’ve installed both and to me the differences are minimal.

i feel the same way about most distros.
if you use 3 different distros with the same desktop, the differences are minimal.
i know, i have kubuntu which im using on the netbook, mandriva and gentoo all installed with KDE4.2 on my desktop, netbook and laptop and theyre all open on my desk and its ridiculous how the fanboism has reached applelike proportions whenever distros are talked about.

considering their shared DNA, listening why distro A is sooooooooooooo much better than another, is even more ridiculous.
most of my geek friends tell me that Kubuntu is not in their top 3 kde distros but cmon…. there is no real difference.

everything else is just debating how many strippers can fit on the end of a needle (i know i have this wrong but since i am, might as well make it a pleasant mistake in honoujr of jessica biel’s upcoming movie. i hear she is a big fan of KDE4.x)

love the site.

But as Chris noted it’s not quite a “technical review.” Let me just put a strong emphasis on the part where I said “just an opinion from a Linux newbie.” :)

I’ve installed both and to me the differences are minimal.

http://ubuntu.media.mit.edu/ubuntu-releases/9.04/

http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2009/04/ubuntu-904-release-candidate-arrives.ars

It still needs a bit of clean up to remove mono and apt-pinning to prevent a reinfection.
