If it's all the same, I kinda liked you. Top posts and all. Just remember, if people were actually shot for top posting the Armenian Genocide would pale by comparison.
If you do go, the sad part is, you will not find a better distro no matter how hard you look. Software (I've tried just about all of them) or community (on balance).
Give things a day or two and then you make an informed decision. This is a great community.
an aside, mindless dribble or philosophy, you decide: "remember there are assholes in every group, the bigger the group, the more assholes there are..." (not directed to anyone in particular)
I fully agree and the secret is to not let them bother you. On a side note: If I look at the packman mail dialogue that the OP cited, I come to think that some people are crazy, to say the very least: You reasonably cannot expect service levels, immediate support, security policies and much more, anything delivered immediately and for free, since this is Linux and therfore it needs to be for free... If you need such features, you either need to use an enterprise distribution and pay for what you get or you better stay with Windows, where you get what you deserve. ;-) just my $0.02 regards Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
