SuSE Linux 8.0 Beta Review at LinuxPlanet

Kurt Wall writes for LinuxPlanet: “I’m a minimalist when it comes to my Linux boxes. They all run Slackware and XFCE, with nary a single bit of KDE or GNOME to be seen. Why? Because I want to save my RAM, CPU, and disk for real computing, not eye candy. So, as I began my review of SuSE 8.0, I was skeptical that it would have much that really wowed me. And, to be clear, I finished my review as firmly entrenched in my minimalism as when I started. Naytheless, SuSE impressed me, especially the painless, perfect installation — an element difficult to get right during a beta. Those of you who prefer or rely on feature-rich, beautiful desktops won’t be disappointed in SuSE 8.0.”
