I myself am using openSUSE 10.3 for my workstation.
One of the reasons is the excellent package manager, YaST, and the vast choice of community repositories for free high-quality softare.
You don't need to build ArgyllCMS (as per Joel Cornuz's original post) under openSUSE!
A ready constantly updated package exists.
Just add in YaST with copy/paste this repository:
Code:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/hfiguiere/openSUSE_10.3/
Get from the same repository also
RawStudio (raw converter) [1],
PhotoPrint (print manager) and
Lprof (ICC profiler).
Also, get
CinePaint (retouching) and
Oyranos (its color management system) from:
Code:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/bekun/openSUSE_10.3/
Get
Xcalib (monitor calibration loader) and
Scribus (desktop publishing) from:
Code:
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/mrdocs/openSUSE_10.3/
All excellent tools, some have no equivalent under any other operating systems!
[1] RawStudio and Digikam utilize LittleCMS instead of ArgyllCMS.
