And the stand-alone desktop is the primary target of openSUSE.
This change of target is very sad to read about.

Joachim, this is no change, this is what openSUSE does for ages already.
openSUSE is a desktop, a server, a development platform.
The default installation - and the way questions are asks - are targetting the desktop users.
Still, you can setup a server - and many do. It's just not the *primary* target.
The problem is that in past the default installation was much more standardized and scalable. Syslog is very nice to have on both desktop or any other target. It doesn't matter whether grandma needs syslog's full feature set or not. But when she ask me for help then it would be helpful to find a serious system rather than a freedesktop-only toy box. IMO it's the wrong way to change the desktop target to something which is unusable for serious usage. Removing syslog is just one example issue. Usually any Linux/Unix beginner book points out somehow that the unix stability, scalability, modularity, compatibility, simplicity, transparency, etc. are the key features. Why we want to remove this? cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
