“SuSE Linux 7.1 is the first commercial Linux distribution to be
released with a 2.4.0 kernel, the Reiser journaling filesystem, and
a comprehensive set of applications.”
“SuSE came to prominence late last year when IBM announced plans
to bundle SuSE Linux with Netfinity servers, and Oracle forged a
partnership with SuSE to drive the adoption of Oracle software for
Linux. Coming on seven CDs (one DVD), the $69.95SuSE 7.1
Professional is a comprehensive compilation of the best that Linux
has to offer, including full Beowulf scientific-cluster
support.”
“As you would expect from the partnerships with IBM and Oracle,
SuSE Linux 7.1 is an extremely comprehensive and professional Linux
distribution. With its heritage based firmly in Europe, SuSE
contains many esoteric “must-have” utilities that will probably
come in useful some time, and are therefore essential components of
any self-respecting Linux developer’s toolkit.”
