Reasons To Use OpenSUSE Linux Distribution

Here are the some of the features that set openSUSE from other linux distributions:

1. YaST - system configuration utility that helps make openSUSE an ease to use and configure.

2. KDE and GNOME support - Both desktop environments are supported and developed with openSUSE

3. Novell backing - Novell has made openSUSE their enterprise desktop/server operating system of the Linux derivative

4. Software Repositories - There are ample software repositories available and supported for the openSUSE distribution

5. Large community support - There are many forums, IRC channels, websites, blogs devoted to all things openSUSE

OpenSuse

I really like opensuse is for its ease of configuration. Either it is headless mode or full GUI - setup with YAST is really fast and easy

VMWare slowing down Fedora?

I installed VMWare on Fedora and it seems like Fedora is running much slower.

I used to run OpenSUSE with a trial of VMWare and everything ran great. I reinstalled OpenSUSE on a new machine but I had problems because it couldn't detect my video card. I installed the 32bit Fedora instead and was able to find my card. I bought VMWare (I need some Windows software for work) but it runs slow, access to the DVD drives is slow and running XP while working in Fedora is slow. This was not the case last year. In general, it seems that my Fedora is not as fast as it should be.

Anyone else having similar issues??
