You seem to be forgetting that the people who answer questions on mailing lists and in forums volunteer their time.
You are taking it wrong ways, since I am not forgetting.
Well, as others said, time is money. It sounds like you're wanting free consulting, then. <shrug>
BTW, another place where you will find many beginners using openSUSE is the openSUSE forums at http://forums.opensuse.org. The same caveats apply there, though - don't expect the volunteers to do your homework for you. If something can be found in the documentation or by searching the existing messages (or in the forums, the 'stickies' at the top of some of the forums), you'll receive a somewhat similar reaction to what you received on the mailing list.
Yeah Jim, thaks for the suggestion. But I really at this stage need assistance.
The forums are there to give assistance, but no matter which distro you use, people will expect you to do your homework before asking RTFM-style questions.
but I am D-O-N-E, as if now, would have to switch to some different distro, and by the time, I learn Linux, would switch back to openSUSE.
Ah, so since you feel it's inappropriate for people to expect you to do some basic research before asking questions, you're going to (as they say) "take your ball and go home"?
Thanks for your help. Yes, I do need something to be explained from much basic level, I cannot go google and learn all the technical stuff - consider it my con or pro whatever. Perhaps, I am in other job, that's why.
Just as an example, you asked about Linux encryption. Here are a few answers: http://bit.ly/vzrQuQ http://bit.ly/uvEjOA It's not difficult to do some research ahead of time so you don't come across as asking people to read the documentation to you. Again, I refer you to Eric Raymond's essay.
I wonder why on website is has been declared as the easiest distro for even non-technical community! Yeah, it is excellent (100%) but not easy for non-technical people.
It is for those who are willing to take the time to educate themselves. You'll probably find that for any/all Linux distributions. Whatever you decide, best of luck to you.
