Yes, it was the best desktop system and in many ways is still better than Linux. I have seen nothing that even comes close to what the WPS (desktop) can do. And multitasking was far better than anything in Windows and in some ways even better than Linux. I still have one system running OS/2 here.
until we lost support of an os/2 package (programmer finally retired) there were a lot of emergency services using it. you can guess where they went (and wished they hadn't ever more).
on the other hand I still tripple boot with os/2 , win98 and 8.2 as I still find os/2's db2 still the most robust database for multidimensional calculations.
I have to say this is more than a little ironic. For years I never met another person who ran OS/2 (although I did once get a list of local users from an OS/2 group. Team OS/2 maybe? There were like 5 members in the entire region). Now here I am years later on a SuSE list and they're coming out of the woodwork. :-) Go figure. Are all (all, hehe) OS/2 users migrating to SuSE? Trying to stay a tiny bit on topic, does SuSE have (or plan) a network management console similar to what Warp Server had? It's been awhile, but I remember a drag and drop interface for managing domains and desktops that was a joy to work with. I know that the enterprise edition has additional tools but I'm not sure what they are. I use Webmin for most of this now along with ssh and YaST2, but it's still more difficult and doesn't have many of the cooler features. Jeff
