I liked Ubuntu because after installing off a CD, everything could be
loaded off the internet. I am now starting to uses openSUSE, and have
so far been installing stuff from the CD's. My understanding is that
openSUSE is community supported, so I was curious if there is some
"standard software repo" where everyone got their software. Is their
some standard http YAST resource that everyone adds? It's very
convenient to pull everything off the internet.
The commercial version of SLED is about $50 a year I think, which is
fine if you are going to make it your primary desktop at work. I am
hoping that the community offers roughly the equivelant of SLED,
without the price and of course without any promises. For an amateur
or temporary desktop, that would be fine.
My view of Ubuntu is that the started off "completely free" and are
now working their way in to a position of making money, while SUSE
started off making money and are now working on being completely free
(via community support). I read a webpage called "The Jem Report"
which talked about how to set up online repos for SUSE 10.0 and 10.1,
but I wondered if openSUSE already had some semi-official community
repos. Of course if they did, they wouldn't need 5 CD's to install.
Ubuntu does a good job making it easy to add new software. So far
with openSUSE, it appears I have to manually add repos that exactly
match the version I am running. I am hoping openSUSE has a way
similar to Ubuntu, where I can just pick software and have it be
installed off the net.
openSUSE is a really nice distro!
