<pre wrap="">Hi all,
I did some searching on the net but could not find anything helpful.
I'm a SuSE user since version 6 and currently using 9.1 on my main system, 9.2
on a server and 9.3 on my laptop.
I wanted to look into the latest version but ran into some confusion.
I have a choice between SuSE 10.1 and OpenSuSE 10.1.
I figured the difference was something like Red Hat and Fedora but it seems a
bit more complicated.

I believe it's simpler than Red Hat/Fedora. I thought that to get the
Red Hat version<br>
as a free download you had to get CentOS. From what I see the Novell
SuSE ($59.95) <br>
comes with support and documentation. There may be some add ons in
their enterprise <br>
product but I don't think you need that. Their site is fairly clear
that if you know what you <br>
are doing you probably just want the free download. It seems to be the
same distro <br>
either way.<br>

<pre wrap="">Both versions are free for download.
I was looking for a chart or website that compares what's in one version and
not in the other.
I looked at downloading a DVD .iso of OpenSuSE but there are non-OSS and OSS
versions.

Where did you find this? Novells site points at opensuse.org for the
download and they <br>
only seem to have the OSS one.<br>
<br>
I'm running 10.1 at work and home. No bugs to report. Some games in
10.0 that the kids <br>
liked are missing from 10.1. Apparently there are library issues. <br>
<br>
The big new feature of 10.1 is XGL which I haven't played with yet.<br>
<br>

If you want the bleeding edge, 10.2 is alpha2. Use with caution.<br>

<pre wrap="">For my home systems I like to be on the bleeding edge so can anyone recommend
a version to me?
Thanks for any feedback on this,
Bob
