Hello, I am new to opensuse.
What should I think of this discussion?
It's always the same on this list, every week the same  kind of
discussions over and over.

I think Opensuse is a bad distro. Not because of the software, but because
of the mailing list. There are hardly any "technical" topics left, only
rants. And now I'm doing it too...
