AHEM, (wondering alouding of Pennington, Toft and Grimmer), boy has SuSE come a heck of a great trek. (SiS stuff)
ROTFL; I think I need a doctor! 5.2/SiS is about where I stepped in (I don't really remember if it was 5.1 or 5.2, think it was 5.2), and I remember those long nights clearly.
I truely maintain that tinkering with SuSE , without reading the unrivalled documentation, is for the notifiable.
I'll agree that there is a madness, and finding the method behind it takes longer for some than others. Overall, SuSE is *BY*FAR* the most complete and best-polished commercial distribution I've ever seen. The installer is excellent, even by measure of the 5% of users that can't see the graphical version, the hardware support is matched by NONE, and the implementation of new technologies (ReiserFS, LVM) is beyond the scope of these simple praises.
A trend that is of SuSE, is that of impatient and disgruntled so-called power-users slamming the eclectic ways here, then huffing off elsewhere soon come back ,rather quietly.
[This comment is not directed at *ANYONE*] UNIX admin, my ass. If you'd worked in a Solaris shop for 7 years then all of a sudden started working in an established HP-UX environment, your head would spin, too. See it all the time. If you were half a UNIX admin to start with, you'd find more creative ways to get your problem solved than crying at 1500 other users about your skinned knee. Hell, I'm almost one of that number. You can take my Debian away when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers, though. ;)
Just fantastic. God knows, how many times that I have downloaded some software on the net, only to discover, that I already have a copy on disk.
Heh; one of my biggest gripes against SuSE; disk space consumption! It's not really a problem these days where an $800 PC comes with a 20GB hard disk, but geez. Maybe I'm just too old-skool for my own good sometimes...
Thank you all. Thank you SuSE.
