SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop Reviews

Pros

What I like most about this distribution is its easy to manage and use interface, which allows the end user to familiarize himself with the system and at the same time be able to carry out his daily tasks.

Cons

I would say that the cost is a bit since it is a Linux distribution for office end users and that the cost could be less

Reasons for Switching to SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop

Pros

I tested with SUSE Linux for checking the feasibility of providing it to my students as a Windows alternative and for teaching Linux Kernel concepts such as file system permissions, RBAC access control, malware implementation using Python, BASH shell scripting, ... SUSE has a very decent and captivating desktop environment with streamlined processes for graphically configuring TCP/IP networking and adding/removing/updating packages. I would say that SUSE has the most professional desktop that makes it a real cheaper alternative to Windows/OSX operating systems. I also used SUSE for Python development using several Python IDEs and the reference IDLE. Students enjoyed doing the networking experiments and the shell scripting using SUSE. Haven't got any serious complaint regarding its user-friendliness.

Cons

It would be great to have a free version for education purposes provided to students. We have used a trial version which is not always appealing to students and learners.

Pros

The main inspiration that made us test SUSE Linux is the amazing graphical desktop interface that makes it really appealing to students using Linux for the first time. The collaboration tools included makes it a perfect and cheap replacement for a Windows OS. I tested SUSE Linux for introducing my students to Linux BASH shell scripting and I didn't want them to be intimidated by the use of Linux for the first time. SUSE Linux was so appealing to them and many of them had the inception that they can be a viable replacement for Windows or MAC OSX. Moreover, I was impressed with the networking support in SUSE Linux. I tried several server configurations on it and it was capable of handling the job very efficiently on the business logic layer using Apache Tomcat and on the data persistence layer using MySQL.

Cons

This product is not free. SUSE has an OpenSUSE free community edition but we would like to keep the free Linux-spirit out there. Though the cost is not high and it is totally justified in the features available.

Pros

This is an excellent linux distribution which I liked because it has a beautiful user interface and at the same time it is easy to use and integrate with office tools and services managed by linux servers.

Cons

I would say that it can be a bit complex to be able to set up a developer environment, I see it more oriented to end users

Pros

our users are more than happy with this system, it has a very good graphical interface, it is fast and modern, which allows us to provide more security for users to use it

Cons

As we all know, humans are resistant to change and things we don't know, we had trouble changing the system since users had never used a different operating system, which caused a delay in the department

Pros

Distribución Linux muy sencilla de usar, con gran estabilidad y actualizaciones periódicas que gracias a su sistema de permisos es muy segura.Como cualquier distribución Linux, la interfaz es completamente personalizable e instalar nuevas aplicaciones cada vez es más sencillo, habiendo hoy en día diversas tiendas y gestores de paquete que lo simplifican al máximo.

Cons

No se le pueden poner muchos inconvenientes a una distribución Linux mas allá de que en ocasiones ciertas aplicaciones y softwares no tienen versión de Linux y puede ser un problema si no hay alternativas y son imprescindibles para tu día a día.

Pros

E' un sistema Open quindi tutto da verificare e aggiornare

Cons

Articolato nelle configurazioni , un po complicato a accattivante
