**The only weirdness I've

**(weird in my eyes) is the the suseconfig and /etc/rc.config stuff. But
**after
**working with it for a few weeks, it has started to make a lot of sense
yeah, as a relitive new user to Linux and suse Linux, I kinda got
scared when all of a sudden I began to "understand" a lot of what I was
reading.. almost a gestalt! kinda thing <G> ( scares the daylights outa
some of my usrs as well <VBG> ) Linux, like OS/2 "just makes sense"
once you get used to the non windows way of doing things ( not that *I*
ever managed to USE any Windwos distro , BUt required to support it,
made me have to figure out wtf it was suposed to do, and why wasn't it
doing that . Frankly, I never could answer that last question. The real
annoyance w/ it ( any release ) is to call the suport ,you're paying for
, and have those jokers insisist there is an "easy way" to fixor
whatever is wrong w/ the current instalation, reformat and reinstall the
current or newest release! ANd follow that by telling you the best way
to keep your users from having problems is to restric their use AND
reinsitall every X months !! Only the firsst part of htat makes any
sense at all, an in some companies isn't something the IT dept is
allowed to do , unless the box is soemthing to do w/ public ( non
company) access. NOw, try telling the bosses they do NOT have a secire
system at all, and they will ask you to go away, or tell you forcible
"fix or or leave!" Ankle the job is hte only way to sanity.
ummmm, "Ankle" = the industryspeak for leave .
