So nothing yet from Novell or the developers?
I believe alot of people here have expressed serious concerns with the use of a .Net based application as a core component, and I have yet to see any official response on this.
A thread is ongoing on suseforums.net containing further concerns, and I've contacted Vir@s to post on suselinuxsupport.de as well.
I'm a bit put off by this for another reason; for such a significant change, I would have thought the openSUSE community would have been asked for input on the matter, which I did not see.
See my email address? Am I Novell enough for you? ZMD was written with Linux in mind using C#, there is nothing in it requiring Microsoft specific extensions. Also it is running on a free reimplementation. I can understand your concerns regarding bloatetness (if any) and new default running daemon, but I do not understand your concerns regarding a simple name string like ".exe". Ciao, Marcus
