So why not open a terminal in SUSE and as root type init 3? I don't understand this... The gentoo install is stupid at stage 1 and the only reason peopel do it is for ego. Do you think that .... 2% speed increase maybe? Means anything to a user? No.
And why did you send this to me off list, if I read and replied to you I'm obviously on this list.
As being discussed on the list, the whole Reply to thing, You have to click reply to all, then delete the user, to reply to the list (webmail restrictions, stupid, yes!). And if you look at the time, I was falling asleep at the keyboard. I am sorry for that. Ego, no, It doesn't temp you with ease of use. And it does allow me to TRY another distro, just like Linux, it's about CHOICE. I never understand WHY people seem to have a problem with that
It's almost 12 PM here, and I haven't been to bed yet. Time is not a valid source of how tired someone is. And doing all that seems pretty stupid, why not use a better mail client? Mutt comes with SUSE. As for choice, I don't have a problem with choice, I have a problem with people who think that because SUSE isn't going to take 3 days to install, and then need two security updates a day, and because it uses a GOOD installer and system like YAST that for some reason you'd need another distro to learn "The command line".... Type Init 3 as root and tell me how it's easier than Gentoo.
