Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop 10
By Jamie | August 16, 2006
An indepth review of Novell’s Linux distro. Some extracts from the review, and link to the full review here.
The best part about the install is that once the IT guy has gone through the long install once, he can create an install profile and roll it out on multiple machines. So theoretically, the pain will only happen once.
There’s no “Applications”, “Places” and “Systems” tabs – just a single “Computer” tab where the Windows Start button would usually be.
Novell did a lot of work on its own edition of OpenOffice.org, which – unlike F-Spot – is something that I think enterprise will appreciate. The biggest advance is better support for Microsoft Office macros, and Novell promises to help its customers out with any fancy MS Office documents that OpenOffice.org can’t handle. Novell also worked on making sure that font sizing is identical to Word font sizing. This is important if your 200 page thesis in Word becomes 212 pages in OpenOffice.org, and all your references to other pages need to be redone manually.
