Dear Friends, I have been reading the talks between pro SuSE's and ones that have been tallying SuSE with MS. 1) Windows costs almost 2-3 times the price of SuSE Pro. 2) Almost 75-80% of the included software is free and included is it's source code too. 3) If something does go flat on a SuSE system, there are optional ways to correct it and help from this world of Linux Geniuses. 4) You have the option of making things work in contemporary and nostalgic ways on SuSE. 5) I have SuSE 7.3 - 8.0 and 8.1 and have been saving for 8.2 since its announcement. But in Windows I have stuck to Win98SE due to its erratic behaviour as it hangs up almost every three or so hours, I would not go for any more windows upgrades(2000, Millenium, XP,) as I have been hearing of various reasons that prove its instability, there aren't much strong security features unless you used NT and I doubt that too has any standards one can approve of! 6) And DVD drives can be upgraded and bought incase things do not work right, but would I sacrifice all the above quality of SuSE or any Linux system for that matter just because my DVD drive messes up and the others have working hardware that does not? Lets be reasonable my friends. Sincerely, ABHIJIT NAIK On Thu, 13 Mar 2003, Bryan Tyson wrote:

I guess now SuSE being like MS is OK.
That is a silly remark. How much source did you receive with your last Windows release?
