Should Tripwire Fail? - No. What can you do about it? - Well it IS Open source... Is NOVELL to blame as you imply? - Probably not, 9.0 was in the box well before that deal went down. Can SuSE afford to exhaustivly test every application? - Get real. Is Tripwire mainstream that they should have tested it? - Probably.
OK, I was going to let this drop, but it seems too many people are incapable of reading and/or comprehension.
Now, before the fanboys declare me anti-suse, I'm not asking for perfection. I'm just asking for communication. The SuSE people need to have better communication with us. When the response to these legitimate issues is a market-speak press release, there's something terribly wrong going on.
I agree. I surely hope suse QA and developers read through this list. Or at least someone who can relay the messages back to them. I think communication with the community is great. My original post was using your tripwire problem as an example. Tripwire is not the first package i've heard people complain about that doesn't work the first time out the box. You did complain that tripwire didn't work the first time. bb
