Rather reluctantly, I am going to have to say that Simply-MEPIS
wins. This doesn't even have to do with the official SuSE, but
with what I would think many SuSE users would use because the
official SuSE doesn't have, a full set of Media programs.
Apt-Get has been destructive for me on SuSE since 7.3. It has
continued to be through versions 9.0 and 9.3. (Oh, don't put on
DOSEMU or link to your icon for the floppy will stop working on
KDE, not Gnome). Some group of SuSE enthusiasts are going to
have to put a tighter rein on the apt-get for it.
Mepis you can downgrade back to the original program, if the new
one doesn't work, and I haven't seen anything they have with
apt-get that will serious conflict with one another. I also
found that changing such things as screen resolution is not hard
to do on the installed Mepis, if you have an install disk around.
I am beginning to think Novell was not good for SuSE. Too Bad.
Mepis gets the biggest chunk of my disk space. ---Jim
