I agree with you here Michael. Now, SuSE is comparable to other distros, cost-wise... for the power pack, they just don't have the engineering behind them. <g>
Well, let's look at it this way. Pricing hurts those that can't afford the product. More than that, however, is the support. If engineering shifts focus
Hi Tom, It has always been my experience that people can afford what ever they want, if they want it bad enough.. human nature, and 30 years in selling and national marketing is my teacher. However, I agree with you 200% about support... Yes with the new 2.4 "enterprise" kernel, this opens up really a market that Mickey Soft has held, not any more. I too fear that the "little guy" such as I will go by the wayside.
What happens with SuSE? A similar fate, I suspect, from my perspective. So, anybody have suggestions? Debian, possibly? Got to plan ahead. Sure did like the idea of working with IBM, their Redbooks, and industrial-strength configurations, though. Just a thought, Tom
