Perhaps you haven't had any problems at all, I don't know. But let's take an example that's been biting me: tripwire.
I have never EVER had a linux distro that did not have SOME problems. Never. And I installed several releases of all the well known ones before settling in SuSE. Come to think of it, I can't recall any OS that did not have SOME PROBLEMS and that includes several generations of Mainframe big iron, PCs, Mini Computers and even HP Pocket Claculators 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. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
