RHEL vs SUSE

[Andrey Meganov]

Suse has a lot of non mainstream technology, which they are  
eliminating later, breaking the compatibility.

Like they used to offer reiserfs as a default fs. Which is ehhh  
breaking badly sometimes.

They used to offer AppArmor, which is now being replaced.

There are more of such examples. Custom OpenOffice with early OOXML  
support etc.

Do you really trust the company that changes their mind so  
frequently? ;))

Br, andrey

P.s. I'll search for a couple of slides that compare both and send  
them to you in case i find them.
