SuSE tend to
bundle a lot of stuff, much of which doesn't really
work yet or hasn't been well packaged
Personally, I'd rather have a distro on 1 CD of well tested and
integrated stuff than 7 CD's of random binaries. At the time of SuSE 8.1, I think Paul Davis was
specifically asking
people not to distribute binaries, which is fair enough.
Yep.
