Just turn over ...

The 9.2er SuSE is a successful distribution. She comes to the "private users suitability" another step closer.
As a complete replacement for the Windows operating system it is unfortunately still not suitable - too many "bread and butter" applications are only at first glance a substitute for the commercial copies of the Windows world. Many of the great applications for home users are more likely than large construction sites mature products.
Players will always have trouble on Linux (SuSE whether or not) to upgrade. There are simply too few titles and rarely Stocks that are readily available for Linux.
Fortunately, there are the office workers. OpenOffice is quite close to it, represent a viable replacement for the Microsoft Office - though not quite make it. The highly acclaimed package imported and exported although Word, Excel and PowerPoint - but with numerous drawbacks!
In Word there are some problems with precisely positioned elements (text boxes, for example). In PowerPoint sometimes slipping positions of embedded graphics. Some add-ins that are in EXCEL case, are not available in Calc example. Generally, there are problems with embedded OLE / DDL objects. VBA is theoretically possible - but in practice is still missing a lot of compatibility. COM add-ins you can basically forget (even if OO is used under Windows).
The vielbeworbene possibility of built-in PDF export is not a killer criterion for me, because there is the free FreePDF at least on Windows, which can generate PDFs from any printable application.
A big disadvantage - but which is not SuSE_Spezifisch - is the fact that it has failed the Linux community to develop guidelines or at least sound recommendations for GUIs. Many programs you can see that they have been exclusively developed by programmers: Technically excellent but ergonomic disaster. While there are top applications that are also ergonomically designed - a wide variety of applications, however, is more likely to be called not ergonomic. Here you can tell partly still clear that Linux is a system for experts and freaks.
Conclusion: An excellent base is the Linux operating system for a long time. With SuSE 9.2 to get the home fitness a step closer. The next steps should certainly the case - and this is a call to all Linux developers - the applications are more ergonomic and especially the many construction sites are closed. Dear less functional and stable for.
Priority should be me that the Linux community finally agrees on a desktop - the whole vermilion with KDE and Gnome is my opinion counterproductive and satisfied more than the vanity of developers. In the interest of the customer is a standardized, easy-to-use desktop. I personally like the SUN Java desktop on Solaris, which takes up the virtues of Microsoft and as reflected in an important notch: He makes it "even-Windowsianern" easier to upgrade. The "Umlernzeit" is thus reduced and initial frustration is avoided.
Good is 9.2 yet. It's good for technicians, developers and ambitious home users. For scientists anyway. Less suited to it is not at all for players and musicians and people who need to be compatible with Windows.
The acclaimed WINE is not really suitable. VM-Ware would indeed be on a fast computer a crutch - but expensive! As more worth the parallel installation of Windows and Linux.
It's just really takes over your desktop.
I think that Linux has to mature one to two years. Above all, the developers have to the higher demands of spoiled Klickibunti users provide when Linux will prevail across the board. Because not everything is Klickibunti is bad!
For use on servers, I would not necessarily recommend SuSE (generally not) - I would either recommend Debian, Slackware or Fedora. Is one happy owner of a SUN, then Solaris is the first choice anyway.
