I don't think that I tell you anything new or surprising when telling major Linux-Distries become more and more similar to the WinWorld in many points, including too fast feature implementation and increasing security problems. SuSE is not an exception, but it's a company and sell what most people desire; that is a XP look-a-like (KDE) with auto-install. Today you'll find on SuSE's online store price information for licensing by 5 or 10 users or by 2 or 4 CPUs. But the customers seem to want that this way so SuSE delivers.
I agree 100%. They need an install option named firewall, or some thing like that, that leaves out ANY stuff that should not run on a firewall. I actually find it a little strange that they have not implemented that a long time ago, since security has been a hot topic for a long time now.
They do have: http://www.suse.de/en/business/products/suse_business/firewall/index.html You can also get a Training, maybe you can even get a SCSE (SuSE Certified Security Engeneer) or something. oki, Steffen -- Dieses Schreiben wurde maschinell erstellt, es trägt daher weder Unterschrift noch Siegel.
