SUSE Linux Enterprise 10

isn't linux supposed to be free?

Free as in Freedom ...not Free of charge .
Check the GPL Licence .

ubuntu- or debian .

Debian more reliable , more stable ; but you will get some outdated software .
Ubuntu more sexy , more PC/Laptop Support , new software ... but not as stable .

Novell rules, and OpenSUSE is awesome, I'm sure SLED 11 will be the best of next year linux distros

forget those, even SuSE, just gow ith ubuntu and you'll be set for life 8-) (man i wish i had a smily that had sunglasses on.. :(

Ubuntu got there source from suse..... -_- so dont mess with the best haha XD

What the hell are you smoking?
Ubuntu is built on Debian's efforts, focusing on Gnome -related projects, whereas SuSE has been its own distribution since the beginning, with desktop application set designed around KDE and Qt. Furthermore, SuSE shares Redhat's package format, while Ubuntu has gone with Debians .deb packages..

You know what, it's just easier to call you stupid.

I'm thirteen if you saw my age, what are you taking? crack? Yes ubuntu did take their source from suse look it up :P

int3rl0per is correct. How could Ubuntu have taken their source from SuSE if it utilizes completely different resources, such as Gnome and the .deb packages? Maybe YOU should look it up, or maybe you have and are just too dumb to comprehend the meaning of the results you find. Please do your research before you post comments contradicting people who are clearly smarter than you.
