Probably because it's not ready for the consumer market. Corporate desktops, yes, but home users with scanners, digital cameras, and other assorted bit and pieces without specific Linux drivers in the box, no.

Also, the latest version of Wine (coming with 8.2) actually is much better. I ran some games in it that did very well, games that had definite problems before now run pretty smoothly. <snip>
Maybe it's time for SuSE Linux Gamer Desktop Solution....... ;) SuSE Linux with a half year Transmet gaming license....... <snip>
Perhaps it's just me, but I kinda get the feeling that SuSE will be focusing on something of a merge of sorts with the general versions and the Office Edition verson they sell for corporate office use. In the Office Edition they include the CodeWeaver's plugins - so they have licensed it. But I don't think this is going to happen with the Personal/Pro editions because of cost/support/license issues. But, this may change. I know that many home/SOHO users want to run Win apps. In the Office Edition you can do this a lot better out of the box. The CodeWeavers stuff has a gui installer/admin interface that comes with the Office Edition. The other issue is a more unified installer, something along the lines that comes with Windows (it's a 3rd party app - but pretty much everyone uses it, you know - InstallShield). <snip>
There is a Window manager that mimicis Windows XP classic theme. It called XPde from www.xpde.com. Still work in progress. They're using Kylix 3 for this. Maybe combine it and the Windows drones wont even notice there using Linux instead of WinXP...:)

I'm noticing that all suse's start scripts are template based. But I am not finding any documentation on how they work. I'm trying to set up my firewall in the boot process. Now normally I would write a simple script in my /etc/rc.d/rc.2 using the S01name. How do I do this the SuSE way using ths script.

Huh? What about "/etc/init.d/README"? (AKA initd(7))

Read the above, use insserv(8) or yast2. Do NOT create the link yourself. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
