I used Suse during that window after Redhat discontinued desktop support, and before debian had an installer. I remember thinking YAST was wonderful, and being very upset about their deal with Microsoft after Novell bought them.

I mentioned Novell in my essay and how its revenue declined quickly after they moved away from NetWare, including Client Access Licenses.

  And how did you expect that to go? Netware was bug central, I used it from 3.x - 6. Linux killed them...and it was time for Netware to go. I remember the first time I compared Border Manager with OpenSuSE (2.2 kernel -w-w ipchains) & squid as proxy. Eye opening. No more midnight reboots. No more opaque interfaces and $$ for nothing.

    What I was talking about is that SuSE Linux of course had no CALs, you only pay for support like with RHEL. This is unlike NetWare and Windows

Yast is great, OpenSuse's greatest strength is it's great hardware support, the best IMHO.
