Subject: User friendly distributions from linuxnewbie.org
The following link points to a heartfelt, but very well thought out cry for
a rethink on how distributions are put together. It's a very good read.

<p>Personally I'd like to see SuSE put some more thought into their
documentation. The basic format hasn't changed much from version to version
and while most of the good stuff is there, I don't find it very intuitive.
For example, why are the system upgrade instructions way up on page 419 - so
far away from the rest of the installation instructions? Surely all
installation components should be together in one place?
A suggestion to SuSE - go beg, borrow, steal some of the doc sets from your
competitors, like Compaq's Tru64, Solaris, MS Windows 2000. Examine the
organization/structure, style/layout and then steal the best ideas from them
all and do a new design.
Then make is really obvious where customers can go to give feedback.
