Linux Online - Review: SUSE Professional 9.3

Review: SUSE Professional 9.3

For the past several weeks, I've been running my home office LAN exclusively on SUSE 9.3 Professional. I found this latest version, released in March, to be an excellent implementation of the Linux operating system. It brings Linux's levels of ease of use and configurability to an all-time high.

I moved to a single platform across the LAN because of my frustration in trying to share a printer on my desktop machine with other machines on the LAN. I had been happily running Debian Woody on my desktop and Ubuntu on the workstation until I began using my workstation more and needing to print from it as often as from the desktop. After several hours of frustration, which had me agreeing with Eric S. Raymond's opinion on configuring CUPS, I decided that a common platform might be the answer. A month before SUSE 9.3 was released, I installed SUSE 9.2 on both systems, and in less time than I had spent unsuccessfully tinkering with CUPS, it "just worked."
