From: Valentin Guillen on 26 Dec 2005 12:58 SuSE must be doing things right....the proof is in these newsgroups. A lot of effort, time, and obviously money is being spent on disparaging SuSE everywhere. I have a hard time believing that even idiots would be devoting their time and effort to this effort if there was not income derived from the endeavor. Just below this post is an example. About the brain-dead gift. This newsgroup has been targetted for this type of disparagement. One must ask the question: Why do these people feel so threatened by SuSE? Of course, some of us know the answer. SuSE has the know-how, the income, and the leverage to actually threaten the status-quo. That's why it has been targeted. Red Hat was similarly targetted about 3~4 years ago, but RH shifted its focus to the enterprise, and didn't really target the desktop in the way SuSE has. What I say to all of this is: Go SuSE! In spite of the shortcomings that any release of _any_ OS inevitably has, Suse is obviously stepping on LOTS of toes. THAT is the proof that it's doing the right thing, hence the obvious targetting that is happening. These disparagers won't/can't stop the inevitable. -- vg

Best to killfile the advocacy group, unless you want to post in there. SUSE (not SuSE anymore) does a great job, as does, I am sure, Mandrake, Debian, RedHat, Gentoo and all the other distributions. I am not interested really what others do. :-) -- houghi Please do not toppost http://houghi.org You are about to enter another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind.

Actually I find SUSE doing things confusing (though not necessarily wrong). I can't for the life of me understand any of the choices about what goes on the CD/DVD images and what doesn't. Firefox, but no Thunderbird? 75dpi X fonts, but no 100dpi X fonts (the old everyone runs at 800x600 resolution myth perhaps?). Bizzarre library selections (motif runtime libs, but no motif developement libs - if the theory is that no one develops in motif anymore, why bother with the runtime either?). Yes, it is all available from the FTP install sites, but what the heck are they filling up the ISO images with that they have to trim things like this? It is certainly filled up with something - an install "everything" for suse loads almost twice as much onto the disk as an install "everything" for fedora, yet so far the NX client/server software is the only thing I've found pre-installed on SUSE that led me to say "Great! I don't have to dig this up on the net, its already here.". What all those gigabytes of extra stuff are in the distribution, I've yet to determine :-).

Only the official name now is SUSE. You could call it Windows and also be wrong. ;-) -- houghi Please do not toppost http://houghi.org You are about to enter another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind.
