From this brief digression into a new operating system, I can draw
several premature conclusions:
1. Ubuntu is far easier to install than SuSE.
2. Their philosophy seems geared toward making the transition easy
for people accustomed to using Windows.
3. Applications do seem to load faster than with SuSE, probably
because of less overhead in the coding.
By "less overhead in the coding" do you mean the application's code
or the kernel that is used?
Out of curiosity, how do the kernels compare? Version differences,
bootup speed, features, etc.?
The Ubuntu 7.04 uses a newer kernel. It also booted up faster than
OpenSuSE (did I spell that correctly this time, Houghi?)
Applications came up faster in Ubuntu, and not having dug into the
code, I don't know exactly where to place the credit.
Ubuntu is definitely geared more toward the GUI interface.
It has a terminal to be sure, but their version of file commands is
reduced from what I am accustomed to use. For instance, it has a
"ls" but a "l" just returns "command not found."
On all distros, l is an alias defined in /etc/profile.d/alias.sh for
example
I define l as ls -la, instead of just ls ( since ls is short enough
already) and ls as ls -a since I have no idea what the usefulness of an ls
that does not list all the files is.
So you can define whatever aliases you wish.
