Dear Poor-Misguided-Editor-of-Linux-Magazine,
Ooh, are you guys going to get some grief over this one. Your main complaint about SuSE in the review in your December 2000 issue, seems to be the lack of a network update function. Did your reviewer not care to look at old YaST ? It still does an update from the ftp mirror of your choice as it has done for the last few versions that I am aware of. YaST2 is still very incomplete, and trusty old YaST is still the tool of choice for most admin tasks under SuSE.
I once heard SuSE described as "The BMW of Linices", and have yet to find anything to make me disbelieve it.

I might be wrong, but it smells Big Brother to me... -Kastus

I second to this statement.

<p>YaST2 has been excellent in version of 7.0. I just set up another box for me, with 7.0 Pro and YaST2. Picked up the USB mouse OK, and all my needs --> HP DeskJet 695C, 3c905 100BaseTX, SB-AWE64 and my video card, ATI Rage 128 RF. Keep going SuSE! /Dee
