Even if you don't choose SuSE, MAKE SURE YOU TRY IT! It is a different
feel, but it's nice! That and the fact that the 7 CD's for Professional
have a huge amount of CATALOGUED software... What do I mean by this? Do
you remember the "Specify Selection" option W3.1 and LTP gave you when
installing, allowing you to choose the apps to install? Well, imagine
something like that which allows un-/installing entire software selections
(notifying and/or automagically installing dependent packages). We're
talking INTELLIGENCE programmed in!
Other than that, it has a nice look and feel, like it was polished a bit.
