Why is it that there are a group of people on this list who scream at even the slightest hint that Suse is not always doing a wonderful job. It is such a childish reaction.
I don't think SuSE is perfect (indeed, SuSE is far from it), but I grow tired of a few things: - Wah! SuSE FTP server is slow! - Wah! Blah worked fine before the &^%$#@ upgrade! - Wah! I can't see blah blah fonts blah blah! Known issues, folks. I get tired of saying so. EVERYBODY knows that the SuSE FTP server is overloaded all of the time, no exceptions; use a mirror. Okay, so upgrading packages breaking things sucks; it's often completely unavoidable, though. Such is life. And like I give a rat's ass what fonts look like to you...I'll try to help, but I bet you've not done your research on this.
That and the pointless (and apparently inexhaustable) supply of pointless Microsoft bashing devalues this list, and quite frankly makes it a royal pain to wade through the drivel.
Once in a while, yes. I'm not a Microsoft Champion, but I try not to badmouth things I can't control (tip 'o the hat to Ben).
It is much more prevalent here than on any other list I am on. That includes other Linux, Freebsd and various technical lists.
If you look at the front page to Geocrawler, you'll see that SLE is consistently in the top-five of all of the email lists they monitor and archive. Consistently higher: SL(DE), LKML, Debian-User; tough competition. We have a pretty low S/N ratio here, which gets annoying, but there's a lot of good exchanges here, too. You take the good with the bad. ===== -- -=|JP|=- Hit me! - http://www.xanga.com/cowboydren/ Jon Pennington | Debian 2.3 -o) cowboydren @ yahoo . com | Auto Enthusiast /\\ Kansas City, MO, USA | ICQ UIN 69 67 29 31 _\_V __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
