SUSE, pronounced with an “uh” on the end, like Porsche (Oh! So that’s how you say Por-shuh!). It’s the new black. Now running SUSE 9 with XD2 and, frankly, I’m liking it. Yes, I even like YAST, despite its tendency to try to out-think me and sometimes change settings in unexpected ways.
As I expected, once I’d gotten used to a few quirks (/opt/ instead of /usr/, /media instead of /mnt/, that sort of thing), it seems perfectly natural and effective. I’m lovin’ it.
(Today I saw a poster advertising an indoor athletic event as “Olympic excitement in Boston!” My immediate thought: they’re not affiliated with the Olympics, they’re going to get called on that. I’m already a marketroid.)
