Good one.. good one. I'll bet you've worked at SUSE and see how things go?
Right? Yes? You have? And I'm sure you've spend years in the corp. world and
in the tech industry so you know EVERYTHING there is to know about how
software dev. is planned out and how things work? Right? I'm sure you have
lots of friends who still work at SUSE? Right? Yes? Well, Gomer.. I do. And
I've watched how things go in the commercial world for years. So it's not a
" tinhat, the sky is falling" comment when I say that once SUSE isn't paying
the dev guys and putting energy into KDE that it will suffer. KDE under
Redhat sucks ass and so could it under SUSE if they put no effort into it.

I'm not going to trade barbs with you about who does what at night and who
is retarded or not. Because you have nothing of worth to say and have
resorted to name calling and innuendo.

Oh step off. Do not spread "Macs are more expensive anything" FUD. Moron. A
business class Dell with the same specs as the Powerbook is within $100 of
each other. You just lost more credibility. And if you'd pick an SGI then
you're a bigger idiot as they've just been delisted and will probably be
bought in the next year or go out of business.

Ah. You must be one of those Neo-Con's.. or simply a rube.

I guess you just didn't trim your reply and it was an uptime from someone in
this thread. *shrug* Whatever.

Didn't need to. This machine sits behind a FreeBSD box with a very
restrictive ipfw rule set that also runs OpenVPN. :)
