Long link but a good read. I've been plugging for SUSE since I first used it and nothing can touch it. The only thing that even comes CLOSE is Slackware. SUSE is really getting up to par on the business world, and I think it's great. And look at the screen shot towards the bottom! BEAUTIFUL!
I have to say, a lot of what the article says about 9.2 seems to have been true of 7.2. I'm glad IBM and Novell are behind (SuSE) Linux. I believe it does speak well for the future of the OS with which I am most familiar. OTOH, the article seems to be suggesting the ease of use and user-friendlyness found in (SuSE) Linux is a result of IBM and Novell. That is simply wrong. It fails to credit a huge amount of effort by contributers all over the world who have been working to improve these aspects of open source (not just Linux) for over a decade.
I know that, the important thing is they are showing it off as a great product which it is. The more press SUSE gets for being awesome the better. Not long ago a gov worker friend of mine finally tried SUSE. They are now looking into deploying it for servers and workstation. :)
Take that XP, RedHat, Sco, And every other shitty OS.
We should probably avoid picking fights, especially within the open source community. That is really contrary to the spirit of the development model. SuSE Linux would be nothing without contributions from Red Hat, etc.
SUSE was started with help from Slackware, not RedHat ;) I have nothing against RedHat Linux, just the company is... Heh.
