Attendees were invited to vote for the “Best Distribution”
at the LinuxWorld Expo and decided that SuSE deserved the
crown.

“Commercial director for SuSE UK Jasmin Ul-Haque puts the
popularity of SuSE down to its all-round technical excellence. She
says: “The feedback that we have had from the technical community
has been that they believe that SuSE is the most sound
distribution….”

“Ul-Haque believes that ensuring that Linux is commercially
recognised is also vital to its wider acceptance adding: “We
believe that Linux is for everyone and that what we aim to do is a
complete global solution. I’d like to point out that SuSE very much
wants to support the LPI (Linux Professional Institute). We’d like
to promote Linux certification in Europe and start certifying in
England.”
