On a good note, I'm really happy to hear that some discussions have been going on about Novell marketing with regard to openSUSE. It would be really nice if we could know the results of those discussions.
I thought I'd just raise http://www.novell.com/products/opensuse/comparative.html also as one of the items that needs to be changed.
"Linux users and technical enthusiasts, experienced computer users and community developers"
seriously , this is an accurate description of the currant skill set needed ( if you don't believe me Google "openSUSE vs. Ubuntu" and read the threads) ,
No, it is not; neither would those threads justify your position.
openSUSE is very widely used, and that description is by absolutely no means a prerequisite for general usage of it. I know this from experience with speaking to _many_ openSUSE users, from my own usage with the distribution, but also direct experience since my whole family use openSUSE. you probably installed it for them giving them the upper hand on "Joe User" in regards to dealing with the package manager. No one is disputing that once it's installed openSUSE is the most wonderful and usable distro available.
What's one of the biggest shames is that people confuse "The Package Manager" (a YaST module) with YaST. This means YaST gets an awful lot of stick for previous problems with the package manager, since YaST itself is pretty pacey, reliable, and an awesome administrator settings application.
