bookmarking you for next release of opensuse.

openSUSE x64 DVD.

finally... just finished installing opensuse 11.3. after 6 month of frustration and torment on ubuntu.
welcome back home.

i prefer VLC for multimedia.
smplayer is..uh.. i hate the way it seek based on keyframe (compared to VLC's exact time seeking).

but imho opensuse partition setup is quite 'usable' and easy to understand , compared to some other distro that try to hide most of option, making it even more confusing(especially on bootloader config).

Personal.
I just hate Debian and its derivatives. Not the distro itself, but they way they prefer to do things. Ubuntu is fork of Debian. And Mint is from Ubuntu.

In openSUSE and many parts of Redhat family, we prefer to do things directly, cleanly and as minimal as possible. Debian on other hand prefer to overzealously abstract things, unecessarily decentrilize things, and try to being unecessarily systematic that I see.. cringey.

For example, nginx config. Instead of having all your directives stored in one, nicely written, nginx.conf file, they prefer to split in in many parts. Ie. Each vhost have their own config files. And there are folders for active and inactive vhost too. In SUSE we just comment the hell out of undesired directives.

Then Systemd unit files. In Debian, they prefer to store the parameters in separate files in /etc. In SUSE, we just cram the parameter inside the unit files. It doesnt take too much energy to do daemon-reload. Unecessarily scatter the config in lots of places, furthermore root-only.. masochist much?

Then iptables. They prefer to use iptables-persistent, again, make a new config file just for iptables? Too much free times perhaps. In SUSE we just list our desired rules in /etc/rc.d/boot.local. Clean and simple.

Well thats just my personal opinions and preference. Some people just like such classy and fancy system, like a sir. But for me, I definitely prefer the no nonsense, barbaric way of SUSE.

Linux does not have any direct official website.
The closest to official as in the representative organization is The Linux Foundation website; as for the kernel, kernel.org which is managed by The Linux Foundation via The Kernel Organization.
