With Suse, you get a good service for your money: about 100euro for a
pack, and 2DVD and CD-roms plenty of sotware. But (is that true) if
you want to install other software (that is not include in the pack),
it will be very difficult ?
Not at all. Most of the time, a simple "rpm -i" command does the trick.
And that there are not very much Suse-software
developped and proposed
for download, I mean Software that was developped by an amateur not
directly working for Suse ?
Hopefully, nobody develops software specifically for a given
distribution of Linux. Even, most of the software running on Linux are
also running on Posix-compliant OSes and other Unices, such as BSD or
Solaris. And if you think about SuSE-specific RPMs, I never had problems
to find such. Even Oracle officially supports SuSE.
I am asking, because Mandrake or even Fedora, Debian,
I find lots of
software on the net for download.
My feeling is that Mandrake is less known and less often directly
supported than SuSE. But it's only my feeling.
So, HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!
You too...
