Novell's giant killer: Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop 10
I'm rather impressed. Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop (SLED) 10 is designed to do just that – impress the user from the start, with a smooth and (mostly) simple experience that will satisfy the secretary through to the MD. It does still have some areas to work on, however.
The installation is pretty straight-forward for anyone who's done a Linux installation before. In terms of looks, it's very professional and definitely is more reminiscent of a Novell installation than a typical Linux install. On the down-side, the install process is very long, and a little more complex than necessary. Compared to Ubuntu Dapper's install (a comparison I'll make often since it's my current desktop), it's a lot more admin.
But I can understand Novell's thinking behind it – this is an enterprise product, so the installer is most likely going to be a member of the IT department.
