What's the point in us testing and providing feedback and making our voices heard if we are ignored? I'm now looking to move on. 10 years of supporting SuSE for this. 11.1 is a broken piece of crap that I don't even want to look at again. If the devs don't give a crap about what we have to say, then I know when I'm not wanted. I pushed for KDE3 to remain in 11.1 only to see if get screwed up if you don't do anything but a standard install. Looks like it's time to quit wasting our time Fred. 'Sure does look that way....UNfortunately.
So, what do you propose? Capitulation to the ones that shout the loudest? Or, fighting for what is right?
Yep.
IMO, SuSE is the closest thing to the best distro available, far from perfect but worth saving. Puppy Linux is great for doing a lot with old, small systems.
Not so small/old. I have an old machine, that currently "runs" SuSE 7.3, with only 32 MiB. This will not run Puppy Linux, or so I read. For example, on the wikipedia: ] When the operating system boots, everything in the Puppy package ] uncompresses into a RAM area, the "ramdisk". The PC needs to have at ] least 128 MB of RAM (with no more than 8 MB shared video) for all of ] Puppy to load into the ramdisk. However, it is possible for it to ] run on a PC with only about 48 MB of RAM because part of the system ] can be kept on the hard drive, or in the worst case, left on the CD. ] So I can not run the installer. Maybe version 1 of puppy.
Ubuntu is ok for newbies but relatively inflexible when compared to SuSE, IMO. Debian is very good but I still prefer SuSE.
And I have been told today that a Bugzilla I reported will not be solved because they consider my machine (P-IV, circa 2001) too old. So, Linux no longer supports old hardware :-( - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
