a power user should have access to an electrical outlet or charged battery. a suse user should not have to consult google in order to get the goddammed distribution installed. nor should access to a second machine be necessary in order to get it installed. i suspect that if the system requirements on the box included "second computer to search for installation clues," it probably would not be that big a selling point.
thanks for playing.
Well maybe I'm confused, then. Are you speaking in defense of yourself and the problems you had or in defense of average joe and problems they might have? Because, you are correct, average joe probably doesn't have a second machine handy. But the kind of person who's bitching about SuSE being too much like Windows would surely have other options. I guess I'm just confused about the protaganist in your rant. Preston
