I have brought up several things from my experiences with clients/customers. One complaint was that openSUSE was only supported for 24 months. They want the OS to be just a tool that they can use without a lot of effort or knowledge. They want to run their businesses to make money. They do not want to worry about OS.
Why are they worried about support? I have just this weekend been migrating a few things off an ancient 8.2 system. It'll quite likely still be running for a few months, but SuSE Linux 8.2 is about 6 years old, and it's been running fine without any kind of Novell support.
They then brought up the various LTS OS's and asked if openSUSE had one. Of course the answer was no. Problem is that their is nothing like CentOS for Novell's offerings.
Boyd, if your customers really do not want to worry about the OS, they sure are asking the wrong questions. Those questions have been put into their minds by somebody else, I suspect. It's called FUD. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
