Please post any questions you may have here on how to do this or that on SLED10, SLES10, or OpenSuSE. If I don't have the answer someone may post to help you out. I will refresh a new How To post every once in a while to keep this clean.

Everyone has their favorite version of Linux for one reason or the other. This blog covers my favorite, SuSE Linux a Novell distribution. I take time to view what each Linux has and what it can do, not to mention the support you can get that is required for small, medium, and Enterprise sized companies.

You may notice that other Linux distributions mention that they can not offer DVD player codecs, Mp3 players and other functions needed by the regular desktop user. I am not surprised that Novell was able to include many of these needed functions in SLED10. Real Player, Helix Banshee, Flash, and other needed applications are already provided right out of the box.

I am glad that everyone has their favorite distribution and I hope no matter what type of Linux you use that you continue to use Linux and give other distributions a try. I will always suggest OpenSuSE and SLED for the desktop.

This week I took the time myself to try another distribution; Sabayon Linux was this weeks distribution of choice and I was impressed with all the features right out of the box. This Linux OS comes with beryl ready to go and working. It also had some very cool games on the desktop ready for launch. I would recommend this distribution to anyone who wants to show off Linux eye candy with very little configuration.

Novell has released SuSE Linux Enterprise 10 sp1. I was able to see what was to come at BrainShare this year and was a bit impressed. I think the final product may even be better than what was seen at this years event. The only thing I have yet to figure out is the high resolution zoom, and the 3D pop out pages during the cube rotation. It appears these plugins are not included at this time with the new SLED10sp1. I think these are very minor and look at the functionality of SLED and SLES rather than the eye candy.
