“SuSE Linux 7.1 Professional was released on February 12, 2001.
SuSE also released a personal version on that same day. The
Professional version was quickly backordered due to the high
demand. We purchased our copy from a local Best Buy.”

“While we enjoy using SuSE Linux, we believe that this article
should focus on our ‘biased’ look and disappointment in the product
packaging. Other reviewers are providing wonderful marketing glitz
regarding the product. We are more reserved. While it is a nice
package for anyone wanting to use kernel 2.4, there are errors in
the documentation which suggest the product was rushed.”

“Because there are many positive reviews about SuSE Linux, we
have chosen to describe our installs so that our visitors can
benefit from our experiences. We have tried to edit this article so
that it is as balanced as possible. However, we must stress that
one of us prefers SuSE while the other prefers Mandrake for the
desktop.”
