This article looks very biased to me and pretty unqualified, at least on the multimedia part.
Installing mp3 support is as simple as starting Yast Online Update and selecting the 3 multimedia
packages. You can even do that during the installation stage.

Now, is the author of that article referring to the fact that you have to select 3 checkboxes
instead of 1 as with Red Hat Linux ?
Can't be serious.

To me, it's yet another unqualified Linux user with yet another unqualified review.
Not that everything is perfect with SUSE 9.3 (though I'm yet to find something to complain about),
but this is ridiculous.
