Re: AW: [SLE] 8.2 Announced

Dear Friends,
I have been reading the talks between pro SuSE's and ones that have been
tallying SuSE with MS.
1) Windows costs almost 2-3 times the price of SuSE Pro.
2) Almost 75-80% of the included software is free and included is it's
source code too.
3) If something does go flat on a SuSE system, there are optional ways to
correct it and help from this world of Linux Geniuses.
4) You have the option of making things work in contemporary and nostalgic
ways on SuSE.
5) I have SuSE 7.3 - 8.0 and 8.1 and have been saving for 8.2 since its
announcement. But in Windows I have stuck to Win98SE due to its erratic
behaviour as it hangs up almost every three or so hours, I would not go
for any more windows upgrades(2000, Millenium, XP,) as I have been hearing
of various reasons that prove its instability, there aren't much strong
security features unless you used NT and I doubt that too has any
standards one can approve of!
6) And DVD drives can be upgraded and bought incase things do not work
right, but would I sacrifice all the above quality of SuSE or any Linux
system for that matter just because my DVD drive messes up and the others
have working hardware that does not?
Lets be reasonable my friends.
Sincerely,
ABHIJIT NAIK
