Look, I want to understand this, but I have a day job here and I do not have time to watch videos. I'm sorry but it is my absolute least favourite form of learning.
Indeed! We can read, and most of us can read a LOT faster than we can watch videos! We don't have to spell out each word. man of us are, in fact, 'speed readers'.
Does anyone please have any text-based links on this?
I want to learn and understand here. I am told that I have upset people, for which I apologise unreservedly. It was not my intention.
Sometimes people get upset when you ask them to do something that is, well, different, just as you are asking here. I don't think you are being unreasonable in your request. And, hey, a "side-by-side' comparison list would be nice :-) My own observation: I attend the "SUSE Days" presentation as they come round each year. I know many of the other attendees, some I have known for decades. All I know are Linux users of some breed; some (open)SUSE, some other distributions, some use Windows too. Some cone from a corporate setting where the users get given Windows at their workstations but all the back end systems are Linux, and very often SUSE at that! I see the presentations from IBM and their demos of SUSE running on mainframes that are no larger than my bedside night-stand. I drool! What is remarkably absent is two things: The first, perhaps understandably, is any mention of openSUSE, even as a way of segue-ing into using SUSE. The second is the absence of a LiveCD. Or LiveUSB. I've BTDT and and know the costings for producing a custom CD/DVD or even a custom USB. Heck, the "gifts" we get, the caps, shirts, booklets, pens all add up costing more than that. A few years we did get all the presentations on a USB stick; I've re-purposed those, but they weren't big enough for a Live version. Prices have fallen significantly since then. Most years we get a DVD based "starter kit" with the (presumably cut-down) installation demo of current release of SUSE and another disk with all the presentation materials. I have a full set of those going back, what, more than five years. But no Live version. Something here doesn't make sense. Not least of all given the amount to time in the presentation about using the Build System to build your own, highly customized distribution. -- Education is a better safeguard of liberty than a standing army. --Edward Everett -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
