“SuSE Linux AG is well known for contributing to development
projects such as the Linux kernel, glibc, XFree86, KDE, ISDN4Linux,
ALSA, and USB. Founded in 1992, arguably they are the technology
leaders of Linux.”

“On July 31, 2000, SuSE released a press statement that SuSE 7.0
was available in the professional or personal versions. We
purchased SuSE 7.0 Professional from a local store. We’ve installed
this version hundreds of times on many different types of PCs. In
our opinion, SuSE 7.0 is the best solution for new users first
being introduced to Linux.”

“Despite being the first to release a distribution supporting
ATA-100, KDE2, and XFree86 4.0, to this day, this release of SuSE
Linux does not have any competition. This is because other
distributions are only beginning to support these features. We
can’t wait to see SuSE’s release of the 2.4 kernel.”
